* Bash completion script in contrib/ has been adjusted to be also
usable by zsh.
+ * Different pagers can be chosen depending on which subcommand is
+ being run under the pager, using "pager.<subcommand>" variable.
+
+ * The hardcoded tab-width of 8 used in whitespace breakage checks is now
+ configurable via the attributes mechanism.
+
+ * Support of case insensitive filesystems (i.e. "core.ignorecase") has
+ been improved. For example, the gitignore mechanism didn't pay attention
+ to the case insensitivity.
+
+ * The <tree>:<path> syntax to name a blob in a tree, and :<path>
+ syntax to name a blob in the index (e.g. "master:Makefile",
+ ":hello.c") have been extended. You can start <path> with "./" to
+ implicitly have the (sub)directory you are in prefixed to the
+ lookup. Similarly, ":../Makefile" from a subdirectory would mean
+ "the Makefile of the parent directory in the index".
+
* "git blame" learned --show-email option to display the e-mail
addresses instead of the names of authors.
+ * "git commit" learned --fixup and --squash options to help later invocation
+ of the interactive rebase.
+
* "git daemon" can be built in MinGW environment.
* "git daemon" can take more than one --listen option to listen to
multiple addresses.
+ * "git describe --exact-match" was optimized not to read commit
+ objects unnecessarily.
+
* "git diff" and "git grep" learned how functions and subroutines
in Fortran look like.
+ * "git fetch" learned "--recurse-submodules" option.
+
* "git mergetool" tells vim/gvim to show three-way diff by default
(use vimdiff2/gvimdiff2 as the tool name for old behaviour).
