UI, Workflows & Features
* The "--annotate" option to "git send-email" can be turned on (or
off) by default with sendemail.annotate configuration variable (you
can use --no-annotate from the command line to override it).
* The "--cover-letter" option to "git format-patch" can be turned on
(or off) by default with format.coverLetter configuration
variable. By setting it to 'auto', you can turn it on only for a
series with two or more patches.
* The bash completion support (in contrib/) learned that cherry-pick
takes a few more options than it already knew about.
* "git help" learned "-g" option to show the list of guides just like
list of commands are given with "-a".

* Smart-capable HTTP servers were not restricted via the
GIT_NAMESPACE mechanism when talking with commit-walker clients,
like they do when talking with smart HTTP clients.
(merge 6130f86 jk/http-dumb-namespaces later to maint).
* "git merge-tree" did not omit a merge result that is identical to
"our" side in certain cases.
(merge aacecc3 jk/merge-tree-added-identically later to maint).
* Perl scripts like "git-svn" closed (not redirecting to /dev/null)
