13

16
* Porcelain commands like "git reset" did not distinguish deletions
17
and type-changes from ordinary modification, and reported them with
18
the same 'M' moniker. They now use 'D' (for deletion) and 'T' (for
19
type-change) to match "git status -s" and "git diff --name-status".
20
21
+ * The code to handle username/password for HTTP transaction used in
22
+ "git push" & "git fetch" learned to talk "credential API" to
23
+ external programs to cache or store them, to allow integration with
24
+ platform native keychain mechanisms.
25
+
26
+ * "git commit" and "git reset" re-learned the optimization to prime
27
+ the cache-tree information in the index, which makes it faster to
28
+ write a tree object out after the index entries are updated.
29
+
30
* "git add" learned to stream large files directly into a packfile
31
instead of writing them into individual loose object files.
