  * "git branch --vv" learned to paint the name of the branch it
    integrates with in a different color (color.branch.upstream,
    which defaults to blue).
 
+ * In a sparsely populated working tree, "git checkout <pathspec>" no
+   longer unmarks paths that match the given pathspec that were
+   originally ignored with "--sparse" (use --ignore-skip-worktree-bits
+   option to resurrect these paths out of the index if you really want
+   to).
+
+ * "git bisect" leaves the final outcome as a comment in its bisect
+   log file.
+
+ * "git clone --reference" can now refer to a gitfile "textual symlink"
+   that points at the real location of the repository.
+
  * "git count-objects" learned "--human-readable" aka "-H" option to
    show various large numbers in Ki/Mi/GiB scaled as necessary.
