43
- name our objects too much, and use (1) symbolic constants instead
44

58
- Teach the codepaths that read .gitignore and .gitattributes files
59
- that these files encoded in UTF-8 may have UTF-8 BOM marker at the
60

78
- The usual "git diff" when seeing a file turning into a directory
79
- showed a patchset to remove the file and create all files in the
80
- directory, but "git diff --no-index" simply refused to work. Also,
81
- when asked to compare a file and a directory, imitate POSIX "diff"
82
- and compare the file with the file with the same name in the
83
- directory, instead of refusing to run.

-
103
- We avoid setting core.worktree when the repository location is the
104
- ".git" directory directly at the top level of the working tree, but
105
- the code misdetected the case in which the working tree is at the
106

107
