working tree the original command was invoked.
* "git blame" learned "--abbrev[=<n>]" option to control the minimum

* "git cvsimport" learned that CVSNT stores its password file in a
location different from the traditional CVS.

the names of generated files.
* "git format-patch" quotes people's names when it has RFC822 special

commits separately, producing more a useful output.
