+ * Input and preconditions to "git reset" has been loosened where
+   appropriate.  "git reset $fromtree Makefile" requires $fromtree to
+   be any tree (it used to require it to be a commit), for example.
+   "git reset" (without options or parameters) used to error out when
+   you do not have any commits in your history, but it now gives you
+   an empty index (to match non-existent commit you are not even on).

  * "git submodule" started learning a new mode to integrate with the
    tip of the remote branch (as opposed to integrating with the commit
    recorded in the superproject's gitlink).
