has been removed (it told Git to ignore deletion, which you can do
with "git diff-files --diff-filter=d").
+"git request-pull" lost a few "heuristics" that often led to mistakes.

Updates since v1.9 series
-------------------------
-Foreign interfaces, subsystems and ports.
+UI, Workflows & Features
+
+ * "git commit --cleanup=<mode>" learned a new mode, scissors.
+ * "git tag --list" output can be sorted using "version sort" with
+ "--sort=version:refname".
-UI, Workflows & Features
+ * Discard the accumulated "heuristics" to guess from which branch the
+ result wants to be pulled from and make sure what the end user
+ specified is not second-guessed by "git request-pull", to avoid
+ mistakes. When you pushed out your 'master' branch to your public
+ repository as 'for-linus', use the new "master:for-linus" syntax to
+ denote the branch to be pulled.
+
+ * "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.
* The "simple" mode is the default for "git push".
track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases'
notes for details).
+ * "git mv" that moves a submodule forgot to adjust the array that
+ uses to keep track of which submodules were to be moved to update
+ its configuration.
+ (merge fb8a4e8 jk/mv-submodules-fix later to maint).
+
+ * Length limit for the pathname used when removing a path in a deep
+ subdirectory has been removed to avoid buffer overflows.
+ (merge 2f29e0c mh/remove-subtree-long-pathname-fix later to maint).
+
+ * The test helper lib-terminal always run an actual test_expect_*
+ when included, which screwed up with the use of skil-all that may
+ have to be done later.
+ (merge 7e27173 jk/lib-terminal-lazy later to maint).
+
+ * "git index-pack" used a wrong variable to name the keep-file in an
+ error message when the file cannot be written or closed.
+ (merge de983a0 nd/index-pack-error-message later to maint).
+
+ * "rebase -i" produced a broken insn sheet when the title of a commit
+ happened to contain '\n' (or ended with '\c') due to a careless use
+ of 'echo'.
+ (merge cb1aefd us/printf-not-echo later to maint).
+
+ * There were a few instances of 'git-foo' remaining in the
+ documentation that should have been spelled 'git foo'.
+ (merge 3c3e6f5 rr/doc-merge-strategies later to maint).
+
+ * Serving objects from a shallow repository needs to write a
+ new file to hold the temporary shallow boundaries but it was not
+ cleaned when we exit due to die() or a signal.
+ (merge 7839632 jk/shallow-update-fix later to maint).
+
+ * When "git stash pop" stops after failing to apply the stash
+ (e.g. due to conflicting changes), the stash is not dropped. State
+ that explicitly in the output to let the users know.
+ (merge 2d4c993 jc/stash-pop-not-popped later to maint).
+
+ * The labels in "git status" output that describe the nature of
+ conflicts (e.g. "both deleted") were limited to 20 bytes, which was
+ too short for some l10n (e.g. fr).
+ (merge c7cb333 jn/wt-status later to maint).
+
+ * "git clean -d pathspec" did not use the given pathspec correctly
+ and ended up cleaning too much.
+ (merge 1f2e108 jk/clean-d-pathspec later to maint).
+
* "git difftool" misbehaved when the repository is bound to the
working tree with the ".git file" mechanism, where a textual file
".git" tells us where it is.
