* "git grep" learned to use a non-standard pattern type by default if
a configuration variable tells it to.
* "git merge-base" learned "--is-ancestor A B" option to tell if A is
an ancestor of B. The result is indicated by its exit status code.
Foreign Interface
* "git svn" has been updated to work with SVN 1.7.
Performance, Internal Implementation, etc. (please report possible regressions)
* Git ships with a fall-back regexp implementation for platforms with
buggy regexp library, but it was easy for people to keep using their
platform regexp. A new test has been added to check this.
* The "check-docs" build target has been updated and greatly
simplified.

* Compatibility wrapper to learn the maximum number of file
descriptors we can open around sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX) and
getrlimit(RLIMIT_NO_FILE) has been introduced for portability.
* Compatibility wrapper around some mkdir(2) implementations that
reject parameter with trailing slash has been introduced.
* Many internal uses of "git merge-base" equivalent were only to see
if one commit fast-forwards to the other, which did not need the
full set of merge bases to be computed. They have been updated to
use less expensive checks.
* The heuristics to detect and silently convert latin1 to utf8 when
we were told to use utf-8 in the log message has been transplanted
from "mailinfo" to "commit" and "commit-tree".

* "git foo" errored out with "Not a directory" when the user had a

incomplete line did not put "\ No newline..." on a line of its own.
