in Fortran look like.

use the new --empty option to be more explicit instead.
+ * "git repack -f" does not spend cycles to recompress objects in the
+ non-delta representation anymore (use -F if you really mean it when
+ e.g. you changed the compression level).
+
* "git merge --log" used to limit the resulting merge log to 20
entries; this is now customizable by giving e.g. "--log=47".
+ * The default "recursive" merge strategy learned --rename-threshold
+ option to influence the rename detection, similar to the -M option
+ of "git diff". E.g. "git merge -Xrename-threshold=50% ..." to use
+ this.
+
+ * The "recursive" strategy also learned to ignore various whitespace
+ changes; the most notable is -Xignore-space-at-eol.

git-only login over ssh as login shell, with custom set of
