+ * "git clone --local $path" started its life as an experiment to
+ optionally use link/copy when cloning a repository on the disk, but
+ we didn't deprecate it after we made the option a no-op to always
+ use the optimization. The command learned "--no-local" option to
+ turn this off, as a more explicit alternative over use of file://
+ URL.

+ * git native protocol agents learned to show software version over
+ the wire, so that the server log can be examined to see the vintage
+ distribution of clients.

+Foreign Interface

+ while walking the index. Other two users of excluded() are also
+ updated.
