when you are working in a slow network disk and are outside any working tree,
98
as bash-completion and "git help" may still need to run in these places.
99
100
+* By default, stash entries never expire. Set reflogexpire in [gc
101
+ "refs/stash"] to a reasonable value to get traditional auto-expiration
102
+ behaviour back
103
+
104
+* Longstanding latency issue with bash completion script has been
105
+ addressed. This will need to be backmerged to 'maint' later.
106
+
107
+* pager.<cmd> configuration variable can be used to enable/disable the
108
+ default paging behaviour per command.
109
+
110
+* "git-add -i" has a new action 'e/dit' to allow you edit the patch hunk
111
+ manually.

113
* git-apply can handle a patch that touches the same path more than once
114
much better than before.
115
116
* git-apply can be told not to trust the line counts recorded in the input
117
patch but recount, with the new --recount option.
118
119
+* git-apply can be told to apply a patch to a path deeper than what the
120
+ patch records with --directory option.
121
+
122
* git-archive can be told to omit certain paths from its output using
123
export-ignore attributes.
124
125
+* With -v option, git-branch describes the remote tracking statistics
126
+ similar to the way git-checkout reports by how many commits your branch
127
+ is ahead/behind.
128
+
129
+* git-bundle can read the revision arguments from the standard input.
130
+
131
+* git-cherry-pick can replay a root commit now.
132

133
* git-clone can clone from a remote whose URL would be rewritten by
134
configuration stored in $HOME/.gitconfig now.

* "git rerere" can be told to update the index with auto-reused resolution
148
with rerere.autoupdate configuration variable.
149
150
+* git-rev-list learned --children option to show child commits it
151

153
* git-send-mail can talk not just over SSL but over TLS now.
