+ only the refs that are not descendants of X) has been added to
+ them.
+
+ * The default behaviour of "git log" in an interactive session has
+ been changed to enable "--decorate".
+
+ * The output from "git status --short" has been extended to show
+ various kinds of dirtyness in submodules differently; instead of to
+ "M" for modified, 'm' and '?' can be shown to signal changes only
+ to the working tree of the submodule but not the commit that is
+ checked out.

* Some debugging output from "git describe" were marked for l10n,
but some weren't. Mark missing ones for l10n.

+ * Conversion from unsigned char [40] to struct object_id continues.

+ * "git diff --submodule=diff" learned to work better in a project
+ with a submodule that in turn has its own submodules.
