+ * "add -e" learned not to show a diff for an otherwise unmodified
+   submodule that only has uncommitted local changes in the patch
+   prepared by for the user to edit.

+ * "rebase" and "commit --amend" failed to work on commits with ancient
+   timestamps near year 1970.

+
+ * "git merge --ff-only $tag" failed because it cannot record the
+   required mergetag without creating a merge, but this is so common
+   operation for branch that is used _only_ to follow the upstream, so
+   it is allowed to fast-forward without recording the mergetag.
