+* Many operations that are lstat(3) heavy can be told to pre-execute
+ necessary lstat(3) in parallel before their main operations, which
+ potentially gives much improved performance for cold-cache cases or in
+ environments with weak metadata caching (e.g. NFS).

* The underlying diff machinery to produce textual output has been
optimized, which would result in faster "git blame" processing.

* "git add -N path..." adds the named paths as an empty blob, so that
subsequent "git diff" will show a diff as if they are creation events.

+* "git add" gained a built-in synonym for people who want to say "stage

+ to the same thing.
+
* "git apply" learned --include=paths option, similar to the existing
--exclude=paths option.
* "git bisect" is careful about a user mistake and suggests testing of
merge base first when good is not a strict ancestor of bad.

-* "git diff" hunk header pattern for ObjC has been added.

* "--cached" option to "git diff has an easier to remember synonym "--staged",
to ask "what is the difference between the given commit and the
contents staged in the index?"

-* a "textconv" filter that makes binary files textual form for human
- consumption can be specified as an attribute for paths; "git diff"
- learnt to make use of it.

* "git for-each-ref" learned "refname:short" token that gives an
unambiguously abbreviated refname.

-* when giving up resolving a conflicted merge, "git reset --hard" failed
- to remove new paths from the working tree. [cherry-pick to 'maint'?]
+* "git send-email" can be given revision range instead of files and
+ maildirs on the command line, and automatically runs format-patch to
+ generate patches for the given revision range.

out submodules.

+* "git am" after stopping at a broken patch lost --whitespace, -C, -p and

* "git diff --stdin" used to take two trees on a line and compared them,
but we dropped support for such a use case long time ago. This has
been resurrected.

-* Giving 3 or more tree-ish to "git diff" is supposed to show the combined
- diff from second and subsequent trees to the first one. b75271d ("git
- diff <tree>{3,}": do not reverse order of arguments, 2008-10-10) needs
- to be cherry-picked to 'maint'.

-* "git repack" used to grab objects out of packs marked with .keep
- into a new pack (fix scheduled to be further downmerged to maint).
+* "git rm --cached" used to allow an empty blob that was added earlier to
+ be removed without --force, even when the file in the work tree has
+ since been modified.
* "git push --tags --all $there" failed with generic usage message without
telling saying these two options are incompatible.

-* "git tag" did not complain about incompatible combination of options
- e.g. "tag -l -d" (fix scheduled to be further downmerged to maint).
-
-* Internal diff machinery had a corner case performance bug that choked on a
- large file with many repeated contents (fix scheduled to be further cherry-
- picked to maint).
+* "gitweb" did not mark non-ASCII characters imported from external HTML fragments
+ correctly.
