* A longstanding confusing description of what --pickaxe option of
git-diff does has been clarified in the documentation.
+* "git-blame -S" did not quite work near the commits that were given
+ on the command line correctly.
+
* "git diff --pickaxe-regexp" did not count overlapping matches
correctly.
+* "git diff" did not feed files in work-tree representation to external
+ diff and textconv.
+
* "git-fetch" in a repository that was not cloned from anywhere said
it cannot find 'origin', which was hard to understand for new people.
* 'git-submodule add' did not tolerate extra slashes and ./ in the path it
accepted from the command line; it now is more lenient.
+* git-svn misbehaved when the project contained a path that began with
+ two dashes.
+
+* import-zips script (in contrib) did not compute the common directory
+ prefix correctly.
+
+* miscompilation of negated enum constants by old gcc (2.9) affected the
+ codepaths to spawn subprocesses.
