on the presense of such blank lines.

* The message from "git am -3" has been improved when conflict
resolution ended up making the patch a no-op.

* "git checkout --orphan newbranch" is similar to "-b newbranch" but
prepares to create a root commit that is not connected to any existing

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.

* 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 <path>" follows across copies (it used to only follow
renames). This may make the processing more expensive.

* "git ls-files ../out/side/cwd" works now.

* "git notes prune" learned "-n" (dry-run) and "-v" options, similar to
what "git prune" has.

* "git patch-id" can be fed a mbox without getting confused by the
signature line in the format-patch output.

* "git remote" learned "set-branches" subcommand.

* "git revert" learned --strategy option to specify the merge strategy.

* "git status [-s] --ignored" can be used to list ignored paths.

* "git status -s -b" shows the current branch in the output.

for very little gain (582aa00).

* "git diff --graph" works better with "--color-words" and other options
(81fa024..4297c0a).

* "git diff" could show ambiguous abbreviation of blob object names on
its "index" line (3e5a188).

* "git merge --log" used to replace the custom message given by "-m" with
the shortlog, instead of appending to it (tc/merge-m-log).

* "git pull" accepted "--dry-run", gave it to underlying "git fetch" but
ignored the option itself, resulting in a bogus attempt to merge
unrelated commit (29609e68).

* "git reset --hard" started from a wrong directory and a working tree in
a nonstandard location is in use got confused (560fb6a1).

* "git show -C -C" and other corner cases lost diff metainfo output
in 1.7.0 (296c6bb).
