* Your build platform may support hardlinks but you may prefer not to
use them, e.g. when installing to DESTDIR to make a tarball and
untarring on a filesystem that has poor support for hardlinks.
There is a Makefile option NO_INSTALL_HARDLINKS for you.
* The smart-http backend used to always override GIT_COMMITTER_*
variables with REMOTE_USER and REMOTE_ADDR, but these variables are
now preserved when set.
* "include.path" mechanism of the configuration files learned to
understand "~/path" and "~user/path".
* "git am" learned the "--include" option, which is an opposite of
existing the "--exclude" option.

introduced to reduce on-disk footprint and I/O overhead.
* "git archive" learned to produce its output without reading the
blob object it writes out in memory in its entirety.
* 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.

HEAD, and there is no need to warn about them.

* Some time ago, "git clone" lost the progress output for its
"checkout" phase; when run without any "--quiet" option, it should
give progress to the lengthy operation.
(merge 8f63da1 ef/maint-clone-progress-fix later to maint).
* "git status --porcelain" ignored "--branch" option by mistake. The
output for "git status --branch -z" was also incorrect and did not
terminate the record for the current branch name with NUL as asked.
