UI, Workflows & Features
+ * Teams for localizing the messages from the Porcelain layer of
+ commands are starting to form, thanks to Jiang Xin who volunteered
+ to be the localization coordinator. An initial set of translated
+ messages for simplified chinese is available.
+
* Improved handling of views, labels and branches in git-p4 (in contrib).
* "git-p4" (in contrib) suffered from unnecessary merge conflicts when
file to be included in-place when Git looks up configuration
variables.
+ * A content filter (clean/smudge) used to be just a way to make the
+ recorded contents "more useful", and allowed to fail; a filter can
+ new optionally be marked as "required".
+
* "git am" learned to pass "-b" option to underlying "git mailinfo", so
that bracketed string other than "PATCH" at the beginning can be kept.
releases are contained in this release (see release notes to them for
details).
+ * "git branch --with $that" assumed incorrectly that the user will never
+ ask the question with nonsense value in $that.
+ (merge 6c41e97 cn/maint-branch-with-bad later to maint).
+
+ * An invalid regular expression pattern given by an end user made
+ "gitweb" to return garbled response.
+ (merge 36612e4 jn/maint-gitweb-invalid-regexp later to maint).
+
+ * "git rev-list --verify-objects -q" omitted the extra verification
+ it needs to do over "git rev-list --objects -q" by mistake.
+ (merge 9899372 nd/maint-verify-objects later to maint).
+
* The bulk check-in codepath streamed contents that needs
smudge/clean filters without running them, instead of punting and
delegating to the codepath to run filters after slurping everything
