* The date parser now accepts timezone designators that lack minutes
part and also has a colon between "hh:mm".
* On some BSD systems, adding +s bit on directories is detrimental
(it is not necessary on BSD to begin with). The installation
procedure has been updated to take this into account.
* The contents of the /etc/mailname file, if exists, is used as the
default value of the hostname part of the committer/author e-mail.
* "git am" learned how to read from patches generated by Hg.
* "git archive" talking with a remote repository can report errors
from the remote side in a more informative way.
* "git branch" learned an explicit --list option to ask for branches
listed, optionally with a glob matching pattern to limit its output.
@ -21,6 +31,11 @@ Updates since v1.7.7
* Variants of "git cherry-pick" and "git revert" that take multiple
commits learned to "--continue".
* Errors at the network layer is logged by "git daemon".
* "git diff" learned "--minimal" option to spend extra cycles to come
up with a minimal patch output.
* "git fetch" learned to honor transfer.fsckobjects configuration to
validate the objects that were received from the other end, just like
"git receive-pack" (the receiving end of "git push") does.

* "git for-each-ref" learned "%(contents:subject)", "%(contents:body)"
and "%(contents:signature)". The last one is useful for signed tags.
* "git grep" used to incorrectly pay attention to .gitignore files
scattered in the directory it was working in even when "--no-index"
option was used. It no longer does this. The "--exclude-standard"
option needs to be given to explicitly activate the ignore
mechanism.
* "git grep" learned "--untracked" option, where given patterns are
searched in untracked (but not ignored) files as well as tracked
files in the working tree, so that matches in new but not yet
added files do not get missed.
* "git ls-remote" learned to respond to "-h"(elp) requests.
* "git send-email" learned to respond to "-h"(elp) requests.

with too many refs were unnecessarily slow.
(merge 17d68a54d jp/get-ref-dir-unsorted later to maint).
* After incorrectly written third-party tools store a tag object in
HEAD, git diagnosed it as a repository corruption and refused to
proceed in order to avoid spreading the damage. We now gracefully
recover from such a situation by pretending as if the commit that
is pointed at by the tag were in HEAD.
(merge baf18fc nd/maint-autofix-tag-in-head later to maint).
* "git apply --whitespace=error" did not bother to report the exact
line number in the patch that introduced new blank lines at the end
of the file.
(merge 8557263 jc/apply-blank-at-eof-fix later to maint).
* "git remote rename $a $b" were not careful to match the remote name
against $a (i.e. source side of the remote nickname).
(merge b52d00aed mz/remote-rename later to maint).
