+ * The documentation Makefile now assumes by default asciidoc 8 and
+ docbook-xsl >= 1.73. If you have older versions, you can set
+ ASCIIDOC7 and ASCIIDOC_ROFF, respectively.

* The option parsers of various commands that create new branch (or
rename existing ones to a new name) were too loose and users were
allowed to call a branch with a name that begins with a dash by

+ * Different pagers can be chosen depending on which subcommand is
+ being run under the pager, using "pager.<subcommand>" variable.
+
+ * The hardcoded tab-width of 8 used in whitespace breakage checks is now
+ configurable via the attributes mechanism.
+
+ * Support of case insensitive filesystems (i.e. "core.ignorecase") has
+ been improved. For example, the gitignore mechanism didn't pay attention
+ to the case insensitivity.
+
+ * The <tree>:<path> syntax to name a blob in a tree, and :<path>
+ syntax to name a blob in the index (e.g. "master:Makefile",
+ ":hello.c") have been extended. You can start <path> with "./" to
+ implicitly have the (sub)directory you are in prefixed to the
+ lookup. Similarly, ":../Makefile" from a subdirectory would mean
+ "the Makefile of the parent directory in the index".
+
* "git blame" learned --show-email option to display the e-mail
addresses instead of the names of authors.

multiple addresses.

+ * "git describe --exact-match" was optimized not to read commit

in Fortran look like.

* "git submodule sync" updates metainformation for all submodules,
not just the ones that have been checked out.

- * Smart HTTP transport used to incorrectly retry redirected POST
- request with GET request (311e2ea006).
-
- * "git apply" did not correctly handle patches that only change modes
- if told to apply while stripping leading paths with -p option (aae1f6ac).
-
- * "git apply" can deal with patches with timezone formatted with a
- colon between the hours and minutes part (e.g. "-08:00" instead of
- "-0800").
-
- * "git checkout" removed an untracked file "foo" from the working
- tree when switching to a branch that contains a tracked path
- "foo/bar". Prevent this, just like the case where the conflicting
- path were "foo" (c752e7f..7980872d).
-
- * "git diff --check" reported an incorrect line number for added
- blank lines at the end of file (8837d335).
-
* "git log --author=me --author=her" did not find commits written by
me or by her; instead it looked for commits written by me and by
her, which is impossible.
