* "git name-rev" has been tweaked to give output that is shorter and
easier to understand.
+ * "git apply" has been taught to ignore a message without a patch
+ with the "--allow-empty" option. It also learned to honor the
+ "--quiet" option given from the command line.
+
+ * The "init" and "set" subcommands in "git sparse-checkout" have been
+ unified for a better user experience and performance.
+
+ * Many git commands that deal with working tree files try to remove a
+ directory that becomes empty (i.e. "git switch" from a branch that
+ has the directory to another branch that does not would attempt
+ remove all files in the directory and the directory itself). This
+ drops users into an unfamiliar situation if the command was run in
+ a subdirectory that becomes subject to removal due to the command.
+ The commands have been taught to keep an empty directory if it is
+ the directory they were started in to avoid surprising users.
+
+ * "git am" learns "--empty=(stop|drop|keep)" option to tweak what is
+ done to a piece of e-mail without a patch in it.
+
+ * The default merge message prepared by "git merge" records the name
+ of the current branch; the name can be overridden with a new option
+ to allow users to pretend a merge is made on a different branch.
