"git request-pull" lost a few "heuristics" that often led to mistakes.
+The default prefix for "git svn" has changed in Git 2.0. For a long
+time, "git svn" created its remote-tracking branches directly under
+refs/remotes, but it now places them under refs/remotes/origin/ unless
+it is told otherwise with its --prefix option.

Updates since v1.9 series
-------------------------
UI, Workflows & Features
+ * The "multi-mail" post-receive hook (in contrib/) has been updated
+ to a more recent version from the upstream.
+
* "git gc --aggressive" learned "--depth" option and
"gc.aggressiveDepth" configuration variable to allow use of a less
insane depth than the built-in default value of 250.
* "git grep" learned to behave in a way similar to native grep when
"-h" (no header) and "-c" (count) options are given.
- * transport-helper, fast-import and fast-export have been updated to
- allow the ref mapping and ref deletion in a way similar to the
- natively supported transports.
+ * "git push" via transport-helper interface (e.g. remote-hg) has
+ been updated to allow ref deletion in a way similar to the natively
+ supported transports.
* The "simple" mode is the default for "git push".
track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases'
notes for details).
+ * The remote-helepr interface to fast-import/fast-export via the
+ transport-helper has been tightened to avoid leaving the import
+ marks file from a failed/crashed run, as such a file that is out of
+ sync with the reality confuses a later invocation of itself.
+
+ * "git rebase" used a POSIX shell construct FreeBSD /bin/sh does not
+ work well with.
+ (merge 8cd6596 km/avoid-non-function-return-in-rebase later to maint).
+
+ * zsh prompt (in contrib/) leaked unnecessary error messages.
+
+ * bash completion (in contrib/) did not complete the refs and remotes
+ correctly given "git pu<TAB>" when "pu" is aliased to "push".
+
+ * Some more Unicode codepoints defined in Unicode 6.3 as having zero
+ width have been taught to our display column counting logic.
+ (merge d813ab9 tb/unicode-6.3-zero-width later to maint).
+
+ * Some tests used shell constructs that did not work well on FreeBSD
+ (merge ff7a1c6 km/avoid-bs-in-shell-glob later to maint).
+ (merge 00764ca km/avoid-cp-a later to maint).
+
* "git update-ref --stdin" did not fail a request to create a ref
when the ref already existed.
(merge b9d56b5 mh/update-ref-batch-create-fix later to maint).
