(portability)

on directories on older BSD systems that refuses chmod() by non root
users. BSD semantics is the default there anyway.

to Solaris has been applied.

used to tell "git-fetch" and "git-push" to use different URL than what
is given from the command line.

* "git push <somewhere> HEAD" and "git push <somewhere> +HEAD" works as
expected; they push the current branch (and only the current branch).
In addition, HEAD can be written as the value of "remote.<there>.push"
configuration variable.

* "git add -i" behaves better even before you make an initial commit.

* "git am" refused to run from a subdirectory without a good reason.

* "git gc" learned --quiet option.

* "git gc" now automatically prunes unreachable objects that are two
weeks old or older.

* "git grep" now knows "--name-only" is a synonym for the "-l" option.

* "git help <alias>" now reports "'git <alias>' is alias to <what>",
instead of saying "No manual entry for git-<alias>".

* "git help" can use different backends to show manual pages and this can
be configured using "man.viewer" configuration.

* "gitk" does not restore window position from $HOME/.gitk anymore (it
still restores the size).

* "git log --grep=<what>" learned "--fixed-strings" option to look for
<what> without treating it as a regular expression.

* "git gui" learned an auto-spell checking.

* "git push <somewhere> HEAD" and "git push <somewhere> +HEAD" works as
expected; they push the current branch (and only the current branch).
In addition, HEAD can be written as the value of "remote.<there>.push"
configuration variable.

* When the configuration variable "pack.threads" is set to 0, "git
repack" auto detects the number of CPUs and uses that many threads.

* "git send-email" learned to prompt for passwords
interactively.

* "git send-email" learned an easier way to suppress CC
recipients.

* When the configuration variable "pack.threads" is set to 0, "git
repack" auto detects the number of CPUs and uses that many threads.
* "git stash" learned "pop" command, that applies the latest stash and
removes it from the stash, and "drop" command to discard the named
stash entry.

* "git submodule" learned a new subcommand "summary" to show the
symmetric difference between the HEAD version and the work tree version
of the submodule commits.

* Various "git cvsimport", "git cvsexportcommit", "git svn" and
"git p4" improvements.

* "git checkout" is rewritten in C.

* "git remote" is rewritten in C.

* Two conflict hunks that are separated by a very short span of common
lines are now coalesced into one larger hunk, to make the result easier
to read.

* Run-command API's use of file descriptors is documented clearer and
is more consistent now.

* diff output can be sent to FILE * that is different from stdout. This
will help reimplementing more things in C.
