5 ----------
7 Incompatibilities:
9 - Commands from the environment (e.g. TIG_MAIN_CMD) will no longer have

17 tracked remotes, remotes.
18 - Add bash completion for blame.

20 - Run requests: new identifiers %(directory), %(file), and %(ref)
21 - Improve responsiveness and view loading speed by using select(2).
23 Bug fixes:
25 - Separate blame revision and file argument by "--" to avoid problems.
26 - Main view: fix redrawing of the last commit wrt. the revision graph.
27 - Fix waiting for input after executing a run request in pager mode.

41 the command line.
42 - Log view: support for refreshing.
44 Bug fixes:
46 - Status view: use ls-files' --exclude-standard so user specific ignore
47 rules are effective. The option was added in git version 1.5.4.

49 status view is not displayed.
50 - Help view: avoid confusion by showing "(no key)" instead of "'?'" for
