optimized out.
* pruning reflog entries that are unreachable from the tip of the ref

* @{-1} is a new way to refer to the last branch you were on introduced in
1.6.2, but the initial implementation did not teach this to a few

* The initial checkout did not read the attributes from the .gitattribute

* "git-checkout <tree-ish> <submodule>" did not update the index entry at
the named path; it now does.
* git-gc spent excessive amount of time to decide if an object appears
in a locally existing pack (if needed, backport by merging 69e020a).
* "git-ls-tree" and "git-diff-tree" used a pathspec correctly when
deciding to descend into a subdirectory but they did not match the
individual paths correctly. This caused pathspecs "abc/d ab" to match
"abc/0" ("abc/d" made them decide to descend into the directory "abc/",
and then "ab" incorrectly matched "abc/0" when it shouldn't).
* "git-merge-recursive" was broken when a submodule entry was involved in
a criss-cross merge situation.
