(usability, bells and whistles)
-* "git-add -p" learned 'g'oto action to jump directly to a hunk.
+* automatic typo correction works on aliases as well
+
+* @{-1} is a way to refer to the last branch you were on. This is
+ accepted not only where an object name is expected, but anywhere
+ a branch name is expected. E.g. "git branch --track mybranch @{-1}"
+ "git rev-parse --symbolic-full-name @{-1}".
+
+* "git add -p" learned 'g'oto action to jump directly to a hunk.
+
+* when "git am" stops upon a patch that does not apply, it shows the
+ title of the offending patch.
+
+* "git am --directory=<dir>" and "git am --reject" passes these options
+ to underlying "git apply".
+
+* "git clone" now makes its best effort when cloning from an empty
+ repository to set up configuration variables to refer to the remote
+ repository.
+
+* "git checkout -" is a shorthand for "git checkout @{-1}".
-* git-cherry defaults to HEAD when the <upstream> argument is not given.
+* "git cherry" defaults to whatever the current branch is tracking (if
+ exists) when the <upstream> argument is not given.
-* git-cvsserver can be told not to add extra "via git-CVS emulator" to the
- commit log message it serves via gitcvs.commitmsgannotation configuration.

-* git-diff learned a new option --inter-hunk-context to coalesce close
+* "git diff" learned a new option --inter-hunk-context to coalesce close
hunks together and show context between them.
-* git-filter-branch learned --prune-empty option that discards commits
+* The definition of what constitutes a word for "git diff --color-words"
+ can be customized via gitattributes, command line or a configuration.
+
+* "git diff" learned --patience to run "patience diff" algorithm.
+
+* Some combinations of -b/-w/--ignore-space-at-eol to "git diff" did
+ not work as expected.
+
+* "git filter-branch" learned --prune-empty option that discards commits
that do not change the contents.
-* git-ls-tree learned --full-tree option that shows the path in full
+* "git grep -w" and "git grep" for fixed strings have been optimized.
+
+* "git log" and friends include HEAD to the set of starting points
+ when --all is given. This makes a difference when you are not on
+ any branch.
+
+* "git ls-tree" learned --full-tree option that shows the path in full
regardless of where in the work tree hierarchy the command was started.
-* git-mergetool learned -y(--no-prompt) option to disable prompting.
+* "git mergetool" learned -y(--no-prompt) option to disable prompting.
+
+* "git rebase -i" can transplant a history down to root to elsewhere
+ with --root option.
-* "git-reset --merge" is a new mode that works similar to the way
+* "git reset --merge" is a new mode that works similar to the way
"git checkout" switches branches, taking the local changes while
switching to another commit.
* git-bundle did not exclude annotated tags even when a range given from the
command line wanted to.
-* git-grep did not work correctly for index entries with assume-unchanged bit.
-
* branch switching and merges had a silly bug that did not validate
the correct directory when making sure an existing subdirectory is
clean.
