patch in a patch series, it failed to apply later patches that depend
on the presense of such blank lines.
+ * The message from "git am -3" has been improved when conflict
+ resolution ended up making the patch a no-op.
+
* "git checkout --orphan newbranch" is similar to "-b newbranch" but
prepares to create a root commit that is not connected to any existing
commit.
been enhanced for visibility modifiers (public, protected, etc.) to
better support PHP5.
+ * "diff.noprefix" configuration variable can be used to implicitly
+ ask for "diff --no-prefix" behaviour.
+
* "git for-each-ref" learned "%(objectname:short)" that gives the object
name abbreviated.
* Various options to "git grep" (e.g. --count, --name-only) work better
with binary files.
+ * "git help -w" learned "chrome" and "chromium" browsers.
+
* "git log --follow <path>" follows across copies (it used to only follow
renames). This may make the processing more expensive.
+ * "git ls-files ../out/side/cwd" works now.
+
* "git notes prune" learned "-n" (dry-run) and "-v" options, similar to
what "git prune" has.
* "git patch-id" can be fed a mbox without getting confused by the
signature line in the format-patch output.
+ * "git remote" learned "set-branches" subcommand.
+
* "git revert" learned --strategy option to specify the merge strategy.
* "git status [-s] --ignored" can be used to list ignored paths.
+ * "git status -s -b" shows the current branch in the output.

* Various "gitweb" enhancements and clean-ups, including syntax
- highlighting.

Fixes since v1.7.1
* We didn't recognize timezone "Z" as a synonym for "UTC" (75b37e70).
+ * We didn't URL decode "file:///path/to/repo" correctly when path/to/repo
+ had percent-encoded characters (638794c, 9d2e942).
+
* "git checkout" and "git rebase" overwrote paths that are marked "assume
unchanged" (aecda37c).
minimize the output, but this often was spending too many extra cycles
for very little gain (582aa00).
+ * "git diff --graph" works better with "--color-words" and other options
+ (81fa024..4297c0a).
+
+ * "git diff" could show ambiguous abbreviation of blob object names on
+ its "index" line (3e5a188).
+
+ * "git merge --log" used to replace the custom message given by "-m" with
+ the shortlog, instead of appending to it (tc/merge-m-log).
+
* "git pull" accepted "--dry-run", gave it to underlying "git fetch" but
ignored the option itself, resulting in a bogus attempt to merge
unrelated commit (29609e68).
* "git reset --hard" started from a wrong directory and a working tree in
a nonstandard location is in use got confused (560fb6a1).
+ * "git show -C -C" and other corner cases lost diff metainfo output
+ in 1.7.0 (296c6bb).
