47
+ * "git fast-import" updates; adds "option" and "feature" to detect the
48
+ mismatch between fast-import and the frontends that produce the input
49
+ stream.

56
57
+ * More commands learned "--quiet" and "--[no-]progress" options.
58
+
59
+ * Various commands given by the end user (e.g. diff.type.textconv,
60
+ and GIT_EDITOR) can be specified with command line arguments. E.g. it
61
+ is now possible to say "[diff "utf8doc"] textconv = nkf -w".
62
+
63
+ * "sparse checkout" feature allows only part of the work tree to be
64
+ checked out.
65
+
66
+ * HTTP transfer can use authentication scheme other than basic
67
+ (i.e./e.g. digest).
68
+
69
+ * "git checkout A...B" is a way to detach HEAD at the merge base between
70
+ A and B.
71
+
72
* "git commit --date='<date>'" can be used to override the author date
73
just like "git commit --author='<name> <email>'" can be used to
74
override the author identity.
75
76
+ * "git commit --no-status" can be used to omit the listing of the index
77
+ and the work tree status in the editor used to prepare the log message.
78
+
79
+ * "git fetch --all" can now be used in place of "git remote update".
80
+
81
+ * "git push" learned "git push origin --delete branch", a syntactic sugar
82
+ for "git push origin :branch".
83
+
84
+ * "git rebase --onto A...B" means the history is replayed on top of the
85
+ merge base between A and B.
86
+
87
+ * Use of "git reset --merge" has become easier when resetting away a
88
+ conflicted mess left in the work tree.
89
+
90
* "git status" learned "-s(hort)" output format.
91
92
+(developers)
93
+
94
+ * The infrastructure to build foreign SCM interface has been updated.
