* When working from a subdirectory, by default, git does not look for its
metadirectory ".git" across filesystems, primarily to help people who

stored outside the repository.
- * "git describe" tie-breaks tags that point at the same commit better by

* The output from the textconv filter used by "git diff" can be cached to
speed up their reuse.

- * "git fetch" over HTTP verifies the downloaded packfiles more robustly.
-
* "git for-each-ref" learned "%(objectname:short)" that gives the object
name abbreviated.
* Various options to "git grep" (e.g. --count, --name-only) work better
with binary files.
- * The memory usage by "git index-pack" (run during "git fetch" and "git
- push") got leaner.

* "git clone" did not configure remote.origin.url correctly for bare
