* "git bisect" is careful about a user mistake and suggests testing of
merge base first when good is not a strict ancestor of bad.

* "git check-attr --stdin" can check attributes for multiple paths.

* "git checkout --track origin/hack" used to be a syntax error. It now
DWIMs to create a corresponding local branch "hack", i.e. acts as if you

out submodules.
