corrupt packs if redundant objects involved in the corruption are
available elsehwere.

* "git diff" learned --dirstat-by-file to count changed files, not number
of lines, when summarizing the global picture.
* "git diff" learned "textconv" filters --- a binary or hard-to-read
contents can be munged into human readable form and the difference
between the results of the conversion can be viewed (obviously this
cannot produce a patch that can be applied, so this is disabled in
format-patch among other things).
* "git diff" hunk header pattern for ObjC has been added.
* "--cached" option to "git diff has an easier to remember synonym "--staged",
to ask "what is the difference between the given commit and the
contents staged in the index?"
* a "textconv" filter that makes binary files textual form for human
consumption can be specified as an attribute for paths; "git diff"
learnt to make use of it.

from.
