* more improvements on mingw port.
* mingw will also give FRSX as the default value for the LESS
environment variable when the user does not have one.

* Unnecessary inefficiency in deepening of a shallow repository has
been removed.
* The "git" main binary used to link with libcurl, which then dragged
in a large number of external libraries. When using basic plumbing
commands in scripts, this unnecessarily slowed things down. We now
implement http/https/ftp transfer as a separate executable as we
used to.
* "git clone" run locally hardlinks or copies the files in .git/ to
newly created repository. It used to give new mtime to copied files,
but this delayed garbage collection to trigger unnecessarily in the
cloned repository. We now preserve mtime for these files to avoid
this issue.
(usability, bells and whistles)
* Human writable date format to various options, e.g. --since=yesterday,
master@{2000.09.17}, are taught to infer some omitted input properly.
* A few programs gave verbose "advice" messages to help uninitiated
people when issuing error messages. An infrastructure to allow
users to squelch them has been introduced, and a few such messages
can be silenced now.
* refs/replace/ hierarchy is designed to be usable as a replacement
of the "grafts" mechanism, with the added advantage that it can be
transferred across repositories.

reordering commits and trees without touching the contents of
blobs.
* "git fast-import" has a pair of new front-end in contrib/ area.
* "git init" learned to mkdir/chdir into a directory when given an
extra argument (i.e. "git init this").

* "git log --decorate" can optionally be told with --decorate=full to
give the reference name in full.
* "git merge" issued an unnecessarily scary message when it detected
that the merge may have to touch the path that the user has local
uncommitted changes to. The message has been reworded to make it
clear that the command aborted, without doing any harm.
* "git push" can be told to be --quiet.
* "git push" pays attention to url.$base.pushInsteadOf and uses a URL
that is derived from the URL used for fetching.
* informational output from "git reset" that lists the locally modified
paths is made consistent with that of "git checkout $another_branch".
