18+
* Bash completion script in contrib/ has been adjusted to be also
19+
usable by zsh.
20+
21+
* "git daemon" can take more than one --listen option to listen to
22+
multiple addresses.
23+
1824
* "git diff" and "git grep" learned how functions and subroutines
1925
in Fortran look like.
2026

27+
* "git mergetool" tells vim/gvim to show three-way diff by default
28+
(use vimdiff2/gvimdiff2 as the tool name for old behaviour).
29+
2130
* "git log -G<pattern>" limits the output to commits whose change has
2231
added or deleted lines that match the given pattern.
2332

2433
* "git read-tree" with no argument as a way to empty the index is
2534
deprecated; we might want to remove it in the future. Users can
2635
use the new --empty option to be more explicit instead.
2736

37+
* "git repack -f" does not spend cycles to recompress objects in the
38+
non-delta representation anymore (use -F if you really mean it when
39+
e.g. you changed the compression level).
40+
2841
* "git merge --log" used to limit the resulting merge log to 20
2942
entries; this is now customizable by giving e.g. "--log=47".
3043

44+
* The default "recursive" merge strategy learned --rename-threshold
45+
option to influence the rename detection, similar to the -M option
46+
of "git diff". E.g. "git merge -Xrename-threshold=50% ..." to use
47+
this.
48+
49+
* The "recursive" strategy also learned to ignore various whitespace
50+
changes; the most notable is -Xignore-space-at-eol.
51+
52+
* "git send-email" learned "--to-cmd", similar to "--cc-cmd", to read
53+
recipient list from a command output.
54+
55+
* "git send-email" learned to read and use "To:" from its input files.
56+
3157
* you can extend "git shell", which is often used on boxes that allow
3258
git-only login over ssh as login shell, with custom set of
3359
commands.
3460

61+
* "git submodule sync" updates metainformation for all submodules,
62+
not just the ones that have been checked out.
63+
64+
* gitweb can use custom 'highlight' command with its configuration file.
65+
66+

* "diff" and friends incorrectly applied textconv filters to symlinks
77+
(d391c0ff).

her, which is impossible.

(55846b9a).

* "git repack" places its temporary packs under $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/pack

instead of $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/ to avoid cross directory renames.

to its subinvocations.
