when you are working in a slow network disk and are outside any working tree,
as bash-completion and "git help" may still need to run in these places.
+* By default, stash entries never expire. Set reflogexpire in [gc
+ "refs/stash"] to a reasonable value to get traditional auto-expiration
+ behaviour back
+
+* Longstanding latency issue with bash completion script has been
+ addressed. This will need to be backmerged to 'maint' later.
+
+* pager.<cmd> configuration variable can be used to enable/disable the
+ default paging behaviour per command.
+
+* "git-add -i" has a new action 'e/dit' to allow you edit the patch hunk
+ manually.
+
* git-apply can handle a patch that touches the same path more than once
much better than before.
* git-apply can be told not to trust the line counts recorded in the input
patch but recount, with the new --recount option.
+* git-apply can be told to apply a patch to a path deeper than what the
+ patch records with --directory option.
+
* git-archive can be told to omit certain paths from its output using
export-ignore attributes.
+* With -v option, git-branch describes the remote tracking statistics
+ similar to the way git-checkout reports by how many commits your branch
+ is ahead/behind.
+
+* git-bundle can read the revision arguments from the standard input.
+
+* git-cherry-pick can replay a root commit now.
+
* git-clone can clone from a remote whose URL would be rewritten by
configuration stored in $HOME/.gitconfig now.

* "git rerere" can be told to update the index with auto-reused resolution
with rerere.autoupdate configuration variable.
+* git-rev-list learned --children option to show child commits it
+ encountered during the traversal, instead of shoing parent commits.
+
* git-send-mail can talk not just over SSL but over TLS now.
+* "git-stash save" learned --keep-index option. This lets you stash away the
+ local changes and bring the changes staged in the index to your working
+ tree for examination and testing.
+
+* git-stash also learned branch subcommand to create a new branch out of
+ stashed changes.
+
+* git-status gives the remote tracking statistics similar to the way
+ git-checkout reports by how many commits your branch is ahead/behind.

* You can tell "git status -u" to even more aggressively omit checking
untracked files with --untracked-files=no.
