+ * Subprocesses spawned from various git programs were often left running
+ to completion even when the top-level process was killed.

+ specified paths came.

+ * "git push -q" was not sufficiently quiet.
+
+ * When "git push" fails to update any refs, the client side did not
+ report an error correctly to the end user.
