Similarly updated test scripts to use + encoding names more widely understood (e.g. use "ISO8859-1" instead + of "ISO-8859-1"). + + * Various portability fixes/workarounds for different vintages of + SunOS, IRIX, and Windows. + + * Git-over-ssh transport on Windows supports PuTTY plink and TortoisePlink. + +(performance) + + * Many repeated use of lstat() are optimized out in "checkout" codepath. + + * git-status (and underlying git-diff-index --cached) are optimized + to take advantage of cache-tree information in the index. + +(usability, bells and whistles) + + * "git add --edit" lets users edit the whole patch text to fine-tune what + is added to the index. + + * "git am" accepts StGIT series file as its input. + + * "git bisect skip" skips to a more randomly chosen place in the hope + to avoid testing a commit that is too close to a commit that is + already known to be untestable. + + * "git cvsexportcommit" learned -k option to stop CVS keywords expansion + + * "git fast-export" learned to handle history simplification more + gracefully. + + * "git fast-export" learned an option --tag-of-filtered-object to handle + dangling tags resulting from history simplification more usefully. + + * "git grep" learned -p option to show the location of the match using the + same context hunk marker "git diff" uses. + + * https transport can optionally be told that the used client + certificate is password protected, in which case it asks the + password only once. + + * "git imap-send" is IPv6 aware. + + * "git log --graph" draws graphs more compactly by using horizontal lines + when able. + + * "git log --decorate" shows shorter refnames by stripping well-known + refs/* prefix. + + * "git push $name" honors remote.$name.pushurl if present before + using remote.$name.url.
