deprecating and warning a pathspec that has such an element in
2.11 (Nov 2016).
+ * A hook script that is set unexecutable is simply ignored. Git
+ notifies when such a file is ignored, unless the message is
+ squelched via advice.ignoredHook configuration.
+
+ * "git pull" has been taught to accept "--[no-]signoff" option and
+ pass it down to "git merge".
+
+ * The "--push-option=<string>" option to "git push" now defaults to a
+ list of strings configured via push.pushOption variable.
+
+ * "gitweb" checks if a directory is searchable with Perl's "-x"
+ operator, which can be enhanced by using "filetest 'access'"
+ pragma, which now we do.
+
+ * "git stash save" has been deprecated in favour of "git stash push".

lockfile structure (as opposed to having to deliberately leak an
on-heap one). Many codepaths have been updated to take advantage
of this new facility.

* Calling cmd_foo() as if it is a general purpose helper function is
a no-no. Correct two instances of such to set an example.

* We try to see if somebody runs our test suite with a shell that
does not support "local" like bash/dash does.
