 * The underlying diff machinery to produce textual output has been

 (usability, bells and whistles)
 
+* When you mistype a command name, git helpfully suggests what it guesses
+  you might have meant to say.  help.autocorrect configuration can be set

 * "git checkout --track origin/hack" used to be a syntax error.  It now
