* Error message given while cloning with --recurse-submodules has
been updated.
+ * The completion helper code now pays attention to repository-local
+ configuration (when available), which allows --list-cmds to honour
+ a repository specific setting of completion.commands, for example.
+
+ * "git mergetool" learned to offer Sublime Merge (smerge) as one of
+ its backends.
+
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* Suggest GitGitGadget instead of submitGit as a way to submit
patches based on GitHub PR to us.
+ * The test framework has been updated to help developers by making it
+ easier to run most of the tests under different versions of
+ over-the-wire protocols.
+
+ * Dev support update to make it easier to compare two formatted
+ results from our documentation.
+
+ * The scripted "git rebase" implementation has been retired.
+
+ * "git multi-pack-index verify" did not scale well with the number of
+ packfiles, which is being improved.

+ * "git stash" has been rewritten in C.
+
+ * The "check-docs" Makefile target to support developers has been
+ updated.
+
+ * The tests have been updated not to rely on the abbreviated option
+ names the parse-options API offers, to protect us from an
+ abbreviated form of an option that used to be unique within the
+ command getting non-unique when a new option that share the same
+ prefix is added.
