--------------------
+Foreign interface

+
+
UI, Workflows & Features
* "git branch --vv" learned to paint the name of the branch it
integrates with in a different color (color.branch.upstream,
which defaults to blue).
+ * In a sparsely populated working tree, "git checkout <pathspec>" no
+ longer unmarks paths that match the given pathspec that were
+ originally ignored with "--sparse" (use --ignore-skip-worktree-bits
+ option to resurrect these paths out of the index if you really want
+ to).
+
+ * "git bisect" leaves the final outcome as a comment in its bisect
+ log file.
+
+ * "git clone --reference" can now refer to a gitfile "textual symlink"
+ that points at the real location of the repository.
+
* "git count-objects" learned "--human-readable" aka "-H" option to
show various large numbers in Ki/Mi/GiB scaled as necessary.
track are contained in this release (see release notes to them for
details).
+ * A commit object whose author or committer ident are malformed
+ crashed some code that trusted that a name, an email and an
+ timestamp can always be found in it.
+ (merge de5abe9 jk/chopped-ident later to maint).
+
* When "upload-pack" fails while generating a pack in response to
"git fetch" (or "git clone"), the receiving side mistakenly said
there was a programming error to trigger the die handler
