* "git grep" pays attention to -diff (hence -binary) attributes now.
* "git tag --list" can be given "--points-at <object>" to limit its
output to those that point at the given object.
* "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.
Both "git merge" and "git pull" can be given --no-edit from the
command line to accept the auto-generated merge message.
* "gitweb" allows intermediate entries in the directory hierarchy
that leads to a projects to be clicked, which in turn shows the

* Recursive call chains in "git index-pack" to deal with long delta
chains have been flattened, to reduce the stack footprint.
* Use of add_extra_ref() API is slowly getting removed, to make it
possible to cleanly restructure the overall refs API.
* Use of add_extra_ref() API is now gone, to make it possible to
cleanly restructure the overall refs API.
* The command line parser of "git pack-objects" now uses parse-options
API.
* The test suite supports the new "test_pause" helper function.

* The error message emitted when we see an empty loose object was
not phrased correctly.
(merge 33e42de mm/empty-loose-error-message later to maint).
* When you have both .../foo and .../foo.git, "git clone .../foo" did not
favor the former but the latter.
(merge b3256eb jk/git-dir-lookup later to maint).
* "git commit" refused to create a commit when entries added with
"add -N" remained in the index, without telling Git what their content
in the next commit should be. We should have created the commit without
these paths.
(merge 3f6d56d jc/maint-commit-ignore-i-t-a later to maint).
* Some systems need to explicitly link -lcharset to get locale_charset().
(merge b522528 dp/i18n-libcharset later to maint).
* Search box in "gitweb" did not accept non-ASCII characters correctly.
(merge 84d9e2d jn/gitweb-search-utf-8 later to maint).
* The output from "git diff --stat" for two paths that have the same
amount of changes showed graph bars of different length due to the
way we handled rounding errors.
(merge 2eeeef2 jc/diff-stat-scaler later to maint).
* The code to ask for password did not fall back to the terminal
input when GIT_ASKPASS is set but does not work (e.g. lack of X
with GUI askpass helper).
(merge 84d7273 jk/prompt-fallback-to-tty later to maint).
* We failed to give the true terminal width to any subcommand when
they are invoked with the pager, i.e. "git -p cmd".
(merge ad6c373 zj/term-columns later to maint).
* map_user() was not rewriting its output correctly, which resulted
in the user visible symptom that "git blame -e" sometimes showed
excess '>' at the end of email addresses.
(merge f026358 jc/maint-mailmap-output later to maint).
* The transport programs ignored --no-progress and showed progress when
sending their output to a terminal.
(merge 01fdc21 cb/transfer-no-progress later to maint).
* "checkout -b" did not allow switching out of an unborn branch.
(merge abe1998 jc/checkout-out-of-unborn later to maint).
* Sometimes error status detected by a check in an earlier phase of
receive-pack (the other end of 'git push') was lost by later
checks, resulting in false indication of success.
(merge ef7e93d cb/receive-pack-keep-errors later to maint).
* t5541 ignored user-supplied port number used for HTTP server testing
(merge d202a51 cb/maint-t5541-make-server-port-portable later to maint).
* "rev-list --verify" sometimes skipped verification depending on the
phase of the moon, which dates back to 1.7.8.x series.
