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.

76+ * "diff" and friends incorrectly applied textconv filters to symlinks
77+ (d391c0ff).
78+
79+ * "git apply" segfaulted when a bogus input is fed to it (24305cd70).

82+
4483 * "git log --author=me --author=her" did not find commits written by
4584 me or by her; instead it looked for commits written by me and by
4685 her, which is impossible.
4786
87+ * "git merge-file" can be called from within a subdirectory now
88+ (55846b9a).
89+
90+ * "git push --progress" shows progress indicators now.
91+
92+ * "git repack" places its temporary packs under $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/pack
93+ instead of $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/ to avoid cross directory renames.
94+
95+ * "git rev-list --format="...%x00..." incorrectly chopped its output
96+ at NUL (9130ac9fe).
97+
98+ * "git submodule update --recursive --other-flags" passes flags down
99+ to its subinvocations.
