* "git am" learned "--message-id" option to copy the message ID of
the incoming e-mail to the log message of resulting commit.
* "git clone --reference=<over there>" learned the "--dissociate"
option to go with it; it borrows objects from the reference object
store while cloning only to reduce network traffic and then
dissociates the resulting clone from the reference by performing
local copies of borrowed objects.
* "git send-email" learned "--transfer-encoding" option to force a
non-fault Content-Transfer-Encoding header (e.g. base64).
* "git send-email" normally identifies itself via X-Mailer: header in
the message it sends out. A new command line flag --no-xmailer
allows the user to squelch the header.
* "git push" into a repository with a working tree normally refuses
to modify the branch that is checked out. The command learned to

IMAP servers (if the library is recent enough, of course).
This allows you to use authenticate method other than CRAM-MD5,

* Long overdue departure from the assumption that S_IFMT is shared by
everybody made in 2005, which was necessary to port to z/OS.

* The report from "git checkout" on a branch that builds on another

* Recent update to "git commit" broke amending an existing commit

* The lockfile API used to get confused which file to clean up when
the process moved the $cwd after creating a lockfile.
(merge fa137f6 nd/lockfile-absolute later to maint).
* Traditionally we tried to avoid interpreting date strings given by
the user as future dates, e.g. GIT_COMMITTER_DATE=2014-12-10 when
used early November 2014 was taken as "October 12, 2014" because it
is likely that a date in the future, December 10, is a mistake.
This heuristics has been loosened to allow people to express future
dates (most notably, --until=<date> may want to be far in the
future) and we no longer tiebreak by future-ness of the date when
(1) ISO-like format is used, and
(2) the string can make sense interpreted as both y-m-d and y-d-m.
Git may still have to use the heuristics to tiebreak between dd/mm/yy
and mm/dd/yy, though.

* "git diff -B -M" after making a new copy B out of an existing file
A and then editing A extensively ought to report that B was created
by copying A and A was modified, which is what "git diff -C"
reports, but it instead said A was renamed to B and A was edited
heavily in place. This was not just incoherent but also failed to
apply with "git apply". The report has been corrected to match what
"git diff -C" produces for this case.

* In files we pre-populate for the user to edit with commented hints,
a line of hint that is indented with a tab used to show as '#' (or
any comment char), ' ' (space), and then the hint text that began
with the tab, which some editors flag as an indentation error (tab
following space). We now omit the space after the comment char in
such a case.
