UI, Workflows & Features
* A new mode for push, "simple", which is a cross between "current"
and "upstream", has been introduced. "git push" without any refspec
will push the current branch out to the same name at the remote
repository only when it is set to track the branch with the same
name over there. The plan is to make this mode the new default
value when push.default is not configured.

* The output from "diff/log --stat" used to always allocate 4 columns
to show the number of modified lines, but not anymore.
* The "fmt-merge-msg" command learns to list the primary contributors
involved in the side topic you are merging.
* The cases "git push" fails due to non-ff can be broken into three
categories; each case is given a separate advise message.
* "git rebase" learned to optionally keep commits that do not
introduce any change in the original history.
* "git push --recurse-submodules" learned to optionally look into the
histories of submodules bound to the superproject and push them
out.

Performance
Performance and Internal Implementation (please report possible regressions)
* An experimental "version 4" format of the index file has been
introduced to reduce on-disk footprint and I/O overhead.
* The code to compute hash values for lines used by the internal diff
engine was optimized on little-endian machines, using the same
trick the kernel folks came up with.
* "git apply" had some memory leaks plugged.

* When using a Perl script on a system where "perl" found on user's
$PATH could be ancient or otherwise broken, we allow builders to
specify the path to a good copy of Perl with $PERL_PATH. The
gitweb test forgot to use that Perl when running its test.

user futzed with her $PATH.

* The parser in "fast-import" did not diagnose ":9" style references

* When "git fetch" encounters repositories with too many references,
the command line of "fetch-pack" that is run by a helper
e.g. remote-curl, may fail to hold all of them. Now such an
internal invocation can feed the references through the standard
input of "fetch-pack".
