+
  * "git am" learned to pass "-b" option to underlying "git mailinfo", so
    that bracketed string other than "PATCH" at the beginning can be kept.
 
  * "git clone" learned "--single-branch" option to limit cloning to a
    single branch (surprise!).
 
+ * "git clone" learned to detach the HEAD in the resulting repository
+   when the source repository's HEAD does not point to a branch.
+
  * When showing a patch while ignoring whitespace changes, the context
    lines are taken from the postimage, in order to make it easier to
    view the output.
 
+ * "git merge" in an interactive session learned to spawn the editor
+   by default to let the user edit the auto-generated merge message,
+   to encourage people to explain their merges better. Legacy scripts
+   can export MERGE_AUTOEDIT=no to retain the historical behaviour.
+
+ * "gitweb" allows intermediate entries in the directory hierarchy
