* Some documentation pages that used to ship only in the plain text
format are now formatted in HTML as well.
* "git-prompt" scriptlet (in contrib/completion) can be told to paint
pieces of the hints in the prompt string in colors.
* A new configuration variable "diff.context" can be used to
give the default number of context lines in the patch output, to
override the hardcoded default of 3 lines.
* "git config --get" used to diagnose presence of multiple
definitions of the same variable in the same configuration file as
an error, but it now applies the "last one wins" rule used by the
internal configuration logic. Strictly speaking, this may be an
API regression but it is expected that nobody will notice it in
practice.
* "git format-patch" learned the "--notes=<ref>" option to give
notes for the commit after the three-dash lines in its output.
