Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* The API to iterate over all the refs (i.e. for_each_ref(), etc.)
has been revamped.
- * The handling of the "text = auto" attribute has been updated.
+ * The handling of the "text=auto" attribute has been corrected.
$ echo "* text=auto eol=crlf" >.gitattributes
used to have the same effect as
- $ echo "* text=auto eol=crlf" >.gitattributes
- $ git config core.eol crlf
- i.e. declaring all files are text; the combination now is
- equivalent to doing
+ $ echo "* text eol=crlf" >.gitattributes
+ i.e. declaring all files are text (ignoring "auto"). The
+ combination has been fixed to be equivalent to doing
$ git config core.autocrlf true
* A few tests that specifically target "git rebase -i" have been
compared only for changes that touch the same set of paths.

+ * The "t/" hierarchy is prone to get an unusual pathname; "make test"
+ has been taught to make sure they do not contain paths that cannot
+ be checked out on Windows (and the mechanism can be reusable to
+ catch pathnames that are not portable to other platforms as need
+ arises).

+ * When "git merge-recursive" works on history with many criss-cross
+ merges in "verbose" mode, the names the command assigns to the
+ virtual merge bases could have overwritten each other by unintended
+ reuse of the same piece of memory.

+ * "git checkout --detach <branch>" used to give the same advice
+ message as that is issued when "git checkout <tag>" (or anything
+ that is not a branch name) is given, but asking with "--detach" is
+ an explicit enough sign that the user knows what is going on. The
+ advice message has been squelched in this case.

+
+ * "git difftool" by default ignores the error exit from the backend
+ commands it spawns, because often they signal that they found
+ differences by exiting with a non-zero status code just like "diff"
+ does; the exit status codes 126 and above however are special in
+ that they are used to signal that the command is not executable,
+ does not exist, or killed by a signal. "git difftool" has been
+ taught to notice these exit status codes.
