UI, Workflows & Features
* Magic pathspecs like ":(icase)makefile" that matches both
Makefile and makefile can be used in more places.
* The "http.*" variables can now be specified per URL that the
configuration applies. For example,
[http]
sslVerify = true
[http "https://weak.example.com/"]
sslVerify = false
would flip http.sslVerify off only when talking to that specified
site.
* "git mv A B" when moving a submodule A has been taught to
relocate its working tree and to adjust the paths in the
.gitmodules file.
* "git blame" can now take more than one -L option to discover the
origin of multiple blocks of the lines.
* The http transport clients can optionally ask to save cookies
with http.savecookies configuration variable.
* "git push" learned a more fine grained control over a blunt
"--force" when requesting a non-fast-forward update with the
"--force-with-lease=<refname>:<expected object name>" option.
* "git diff --diff-filter=<classes of changes>" can now take
lowercase letters (e.g. "--diff-filter=d") to mean "show
everything but these classes". "git diff-files -q" is now a
deprecated synonym for "git diff-files --diff-filter=d".
* "git fetch" (hence "git pull" as well) learned to check
"fetch.prune" and "remote.*.prune" configuration variables and
to behave as if the "--prune" command line option was given.
* "git check-ignore -z" applied the NUL termination to both its input
(with --stdin) and its output, but "git check-attr -z" ignored the
option on the output side. Make both honor -z on the input and

track are contained in this release (see release notes to them for
details).
* The mailmap support code read past the allocated buffer when the
mailmap file ended with an incomplete line.
(merge f972a16 jk/mailmap-incomplete-line later to maint).
* We used to send a large request to read(2)/write(2) as a single
system call, which was bad from the latency point of view when
the operation needs to be killed, and also triggered an error on
broken 64-bit systems that refuse to take more than 2GB read or
write in one go.
(merge a487916 sp/clip-read-write-to-8mb later to maint).
* "git fetch" that auto-followed tags incorrectly reused the
connection with Git-aware transport helper (like the sample "ext::"
helper shipped with Git).
(merge 0f73f8b jc/transport-do-not-use-connect-twice-in-fetch later to maint).
* "git log --full-diff -- <pathspec>" showed a huge diff for paths
outside the given <pathspec> for each commit, instead of showing
the change relative to the parent of the commit. "git reflog -p"
had a similar problem.
(merge 838f9a1 tr/log-full-diff-keep-true-parents later to maint).
* Setting submodule.*.path configuration variable to true (without
giving "= value") caused Git to segfault.
(merge 4b05440 jl/some-submodule-config-are-not-boolean later to maint).
