(performance)
* many uses of lstat(2) in the codepath for "git checkout" have been
with the 'edit' action in git-add -i/-p, you can abort the editor to
tell git not to apply it.
-* The number of commits shown in "you are ahead/behind your upstream"
- messages given by "git checkout" and "git status" used to count merge
- commits; now it doesn't.

* @{-1} is a new way to refer to the last branch you were on introduced in
1.6.2, but the initial implementation did not teach this to a few
commands. Now the syntax works with "branch -m @{-1} newname".
knobs you can tweak to work around issues with various versions of the
docbook-xsl package. See comments in Documentation/Makefile for details.
+* Support for building and testing a subset of git on a system without a
+ working perl has been improved.
