* "git blame" learnt to take "--first-parent" and "--reverse" at the
same time when it makes sense.
+ * "git checkout" did not follow the usual "--[no-]progress"
+ convention and implemented only "--quiet" that is essentially
+ a superset of "--no-progress". Extend the command to support the
+ usual "--[no-]progress".
+
+ * The semantics of tranfer.hideRefs configuration variable have been
+ extended to work better with the ref "namespace" feature that lets
+ you throw unrelated bunches of repositories in a single physical
+ repository and virtually serve them as separate ones.
+
+ * send-email config variables whose values are pathnames now go
+ through the ~username/ expansion.
+
+ * bash completion learnt to TAB-complete recipient addresses given
+ to send-email.
+
+ * The credential-cache daemon can be told to ignore SIGHUP to work
+ around issue when running Git from inside emacs.

Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* With a "debug" helper, debugging of a single "git" invocation in
our test scripts has become a lot easier.
+ * The "configure" script did not test for -lpthread correctly, which
+ upset some linkers.
+
+ * Cross completed task off of subtree project's todo list.
+
+ * Test cleanups for the subtree project.
+
+ * Clean up style in an ancient test t9300.
+
+ * Work around some test flakiness with p4d.
+
+ * Fsck did not correctly detect a NUL-truncated header in a tag.
+
+ * Use a safer behavior when we hit errors verifying remote certificates.
+
+ * Speed up filter-branch for cases where we only care about rewriting
+ commits, not tree data.
+
+ * The parse-options API has been updated to make "-h" command line
+ option work more consistently in all commands.
+
+ * "git svn rebase/mkdirs" got optimized by keeping track of empty
+ directories better.

Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.

+ * A Range: request can be responded with a full response and when
+ asked properly libcurl knows how to strip the result down to the
+ requested range. However, we were hand-crafting a range request
+ and it did not kick in.
+
+ * Having a leftover .idx file without corresponding .pack file in
+ the repository hurts performance; "git gc" learned to prune them.
+ (merge 478f34d dk/gc-idx-wo-pack later to maint).
+
+ * Apple's common crypto implementation of SHA1_Update() does not take
+ more than 4GB at a time, and we now have a compile-time workaround
+ for it.

+ * Produce correct "dirty" marker for shell prompts, even when we
+ are on an orphan or an unborn branch.
