* "git commit" learned a "--patch" option to directly jump to the
per-hunk selection UI of the interactive mode.
* "git diff -C -C" used to disable the rename detection entirely when
there are too many copy candidate paths in the tree; now it falls
back to "-C" when doing so would keep the copy candidate paths
under the rename detection limit.
* "git diff" and its family of commands learned --dirstat=0 to show
directories that contribute less than 0.1% of changes.

it was up to the user to do this when using its output.
* "git format-patch" can take an empty --subject-prefix now.
* "git log" and friends learned a new "--notes" option to replace the
"--show-notes" option. Unlike "--show-notes", "--notes=<ref>" does
not imply showing the default notes.

* p4-import (from contrib) learned a new option --preserve-user.
* "git read-tree -m" learned "--dry-run" option that reports if a merge
would fail without touching the index nor the working tree.
* "git rebase" that does not specify on top of which branch to rebase
the current branch now uses @{upstream} of the current branch.
* "git rebase" finished either normally or with --abort did not
update the reflog for HEAD to record the event to come back to
where it started from.
* "git remote add -t only-this-branch --mirror=fetch" is now allowed. Earlier
a fetch-mode mirror meant mirror everything, but now it only means refs are
not renamed.
* "git rev-list --count" used with "--cherry-mark" counts the cherry-picked
commits separately, producing more a useful output.

Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes in 1.7.5.X maintenance track are
included in this release.
* The single-key mode of "git add -p" was easily fooled into thinking
that it was told to add everthing ('a') when up-arrow was pressed by
mistake.
(merge tr/add-i-no-escape later)
* "git config" used to choke with an insanely long line.
