* A new configuration variable http.sslVersion can be used to specify

+ * "git log --cc" did not show any patch, even though most of the time
+ the user meant "git log --cc -p -m" to see patch output for commits
+ with a single parent, and combined diff for merge commits. The
+ command is taught to DWIM "--cc" (without "--raw" and other forms
+ of output specification) to "--cc -p -m".

+ multiple lines. "--name-only" option is added to help this.

+ * "git describe" without argument defaulted to describe the HEAD

+ i.e. sign only when the other end accepts signed push.

+ * Because the configuration system does not allow "alias.0foo" and
+ "pager.0foo" as the configuration key, the user cannot use '0foo'

+ git command'. These warning messages have been squelched.
