* Magic pathspecs like ":(icase)makefile" that matches both
Makefile and makefile can be used in more places.
* The "http.*" variables can now be specified per URL that the
configuration applies. For example,
[http]
sslVerify = true
[http "https://weak.example.com/"]
sslVerify = false
would flip http.sslVerify off only when talking to that specified
site.
* "git mv A B" when moving a submodule A has been taught to
relocate its working tree and to adjust the paths in the
.gitmodules file.
* "git blame" can now take more than one -L option to discover the
origin of multiple blocks of the lines.
* The http transport clients can optionally ask to save cookies
with http.savecookies configuration variable.
* "git push" learned a more fine grained control over a blunt
"--force" when requesting a non-fast-forward update with the
"--force-with-lease=<refname>:<expected object name>" option.
* "git diff --diff-filter=<classes of changes>" can now take
lowercase letters (e.g. "--diff-filter=d") to mean "show
everything but these classes". "git diff-files -q" is now a
deprecated synonym for "git diff-files --diff-filter=d".
* "git fetch" (hence "git pull" as well) learned to check
"fetch.prune" and "remote.*.prune" configuration variables and
to behave as if the "--prune" command line option was given.
* "git check-ignore -z" applied the NUL termination to both its input * "git check-ignore -z" applied the NUL termination to both its input

* We used to send a large request to read(2)/write(2) as a single

the operation needs to be killed, and also triggered an error on
broken 64-bit systems that refuse to take more than 2GB read or
