  * "git for-each-ref --format=..." learned a few formatting directives;
    e.g. "%(color:red)%(HEAD)%(color:reset) %(refname:short) %(subject)".

+ * "git mv A B/", when B does not exist as a directory, should error

+ * A workaround to an old bug in glibc prior to glibc 2.17 has been
+   retired; this would remove a side effect of the workaround that

+ * SSL-related options were not passed correctly to underlying socket
+   layer in "git send-email".

+ * "git commit -v" appends the patch to the log message before
+   editing, and then removes the patch when the editor returned
