nothing into an unborn history (which is arguably unusual usage,

+ * Build updates for MSVC.
+
+ * "git diff -M" used to work better when two originally identical
+ files A and B got renamed to X/A and X/B by pairing A to X/A and B
+ to X/B, but this was broken in the 2.0 timeframe.
+
+ * "git send-pack --all <there>" was broken when its command line
+ option parsing was written in the 2.6 timeframe.
+
+ * When running "git blame $path" with unnormalized data in the index
+ for the path, the data in the working tree was blamed, even though
+ "git add" would not have changed what is already in the index, due
+ to "safe crlf" that disables the line-end conversion. It has been
+ corrected.

Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
