DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM + environment variable can be used to tell git not to stop at a + filesystem boundary. + + * Usage help messages generated by parse-options library (i.e. most + of the Porcelain commands) are sent to the standard output now. + + * ':/' notation to look for a commit now takes regular expression + and it is not anchored at the beginning of the commit log message + anymore (this is a backward incompatible change). + + * "git" wrapper learned "-c name=value" option to override configuration + variable from the command line. + + * Improved portability for various platforms including older SunOS, + HP-UX 10/11, AIX, Tru64, etc. and platforms with Python 2.4. + + * The message from "git am -3" has been improved when conflict + resolution ended up making the patch a no-op. + + * "git blame" applies the textconv filter to the contents it works + on, when available. + + * "git checkout --orphan newbranch" is similar to "-b newbranch" but + prepares to create a root commit that is not connected to any existing + commit. + + * "git cherry-pick" learned to pick a range of commits (e.g. "cherry-pick + A..B"); this does not have nicer sequencing control "rebase [-i]" has, + though. + + * "git cvsserver" can be told to use pserver; its password file can be + stored outside the repository. + + * The output from the textconv filter used by "git diff" can be cached to + speed up their reuse. + + * "git diff --word-diff=" extends the existing "--color-words" + option, making it more useful in color-challenged environments. + + * The regexp to detect function headers used by "git diff" for PHP has + been enhanced for visibility modifiers (public, protected, etc.) to + better support PHP5. + + * "diff.noprefix" configuration variable can be used to implicitly + ask for "diff --no-prefix" behaviour. + + * "git for-each-ref" learned "%(objectname:short)" that gives the object + name abbreviated. + + * "git format-patch" learned --signature option and format.signature + configuration variable to customize the e-mail signature used in the + output. + + * Various options to "git grep" (e.g. --count, --name-only) work better + with binary files. + + * "git help -w" learned "chrome" and "chromium" browsers. + + * "git log --follow " follows across copies (it used to only follow + renames).
