Updates since v1.6.0
--------------------
+When some commands (e.g. "git log", "git diff") spawn pager internally, we
+used to make the pager the parent process of the git command that produces
+output. This meant that the exit status of the whole thing comes from the
+pager, not the underlying git command. We swapped the order of the
+processes around and you will see the exit code from the command from now
+on.
+
(subsystems)
* ...
(performance)
-* ...
+* The underlying diff machinery to produce textual output has been
+ optimized, which would result in faster "git blame" processing.
(usability, bells and whistles)
-* ...
+* "git checkout --track origin/hack" used to be a syntax error. It now
+ DWIMs to create a corresponding local branch "hack", i.e. acts as if you
+ said "git checkout --track -b hack origin/hack".
-(internal)
+* "git diff" learned to mimick --suppress-blank-empty from GNU diff via a
+ configuration option.
-* ...
+* "git imap-send" can optionally talk SSL.
+
+(internal)
+* "git hash-object" learned to lie about the path being hashed, so that
+ correct gitattributes processing can be done while hashing contents
+ stored in a temporary file.
