(usability, bells and whistles)

* Boolean configuration variable yes/no can be written as on/off.

* rsync:/path/to/repo can be used to run git over rsync for local
repositories. It may not be useful in practice; meant primarily for
testing.

* "--oneline" is a synonym for "--pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit".

* "--graph" to the "git log" family can draw the commit ancestry graph
in colors.

* If you realize that you botched the patch when you are editing hunks
with the 'edit' action in git-add -i/-p, you can abort the editor to
tell git not to apply it.

1.6.2, but the initial implementation did not teach this to a few
commands. Now the syntax works with "branch -m @{-1} newname".

* "git-add -p" now supports "q"uit action.

* git-archive learned --output=<file> option.

* git-archive takes attributes from the tree being archived; strictly
speaking, this is an incompatible behaviour change, but is a good one.
Use --worktree-attributes option to allow it to read attributes from
the work tree as before (deprecated git-tar tree command always reads
attributes from the work tree).

* git-bisect shows not just the number of remaining commits whose goodness
is unknown, but also shows the estimated number of remaining rounds.

* git-clone runs post-checkout hook when run without --no-checkout.

* git-difftool is now part of the officially supported command, primarily
maintained by David Aguilar.

* git-fast-export choked when seeing a tag that does not point at commit.

* git-for-each-ref learned a new "upstream" token.

Here are fixes that this release has, but have not been backported to
v1.6.2.X series.

* "git-apply" rejected a patch that swaps two files (i.e. renames A to B
and B to A at the same time). May need to be backported by cherry
picking d8c81df and then 7fac0ee).

* The initial checkout did not read the attributes from the .gitattribute
file that is being checked out.

* "git-checkout <tree-ish> <submodule>" did not update the index entry at
the named path; it now does.

* git-gc spent excessive amount of time to decide if an object appears
in a locally existing pack (if needed, backport by merging 69e020a).

* "git-ls-tree" and "git-diff-tree" used a pathspec correctly when
deciding to descend into a subdirectory but they did not match the
individual paths correctly. This caused pathspecs "abc/d ab" to match
"abc/0" ("abc/d" made them decide to descend into the directory "abc/",
and then "ab" incorrectly matched "abc/0" when it shouldn't).

* "git-merge-recursive" was broken when a submodule entry was involved in
a criss-cross merge situation.
