(subsystems)
* Comes with updated gitk and git-gui.
(portability)
* git will build on AIX better than before now.
* core.ignorecase configuration variable can be used to work better on
filesystems that are not case sensitive.
* "git init" now autodetects the case sensitivity of the filesystem and
sets core.ignorecase accordingly.
(performance)
* "git clone" was rewritten in C. This will hopefully help cloning a
repository with insane number of refs.
* "git rebase --onto $there $from $branch" used to switch to the tip of
$branch only to immediately reset back to $from, smudging work tree
files unnecessarily. This has been optimized.
* Object creation codepath in "git-svn" has been optimized by enhancing
plumbing commands git-cat-file and git-hash-object.
(usability, bells and whistles)
* "git add -p" (and the "patch" subcommand of "git add -i") can choose to

* "git bisect help" gives longer and more helpful usage information.
* "git bisect" does not use a special branch "bisect" anymore; instead, it
does its work on a detached HEAD.
* "git branch" (and "git checkout -b") can be told to set up
branch.<name>.rebase automatically, so that later you can say "git pull"
and magically cause "git pull --rebase" to happen.
* "git branch --merged" and "git branch --no-merged" can be used to list
branches that have already been merged (or not yet merged) to the
current branch.
* "git cherry-pick" and "git revert" can add a sign-off.
* "git commit" mentions the author identity when you are committing
somebody else's changes.
* "git diff/log --dirstat" output is consistent between binary and textual
changes.
* "git filter-branch" rewrites signed tags by demoting them to annotated.
* "git format-patch --no-binary" can produce a patch that lack binary
changes (i.e. cannot be used to propagate the whole changes) meant only
for reviewing.
* "git gc --auto" honors a new pre-aut-gc hook to temporarily disable it.
* "git log --pretty=tformat:<custom format>" gives a LF after each entry,
instead of giving a LF between each pair of entries which is how
"git log --pretty=format:<custom format>" works.
* "git log" and friends learned the "--graph" option to show the ancestry
graph at the left margin of the output.
* "git log" and friends can be told to use date format that is different
from the default via 'log.date' configuration variable.
* "git send-email" now can send out messages outside a git repository.
* "git send-email --compose" was made aware of rfc2047 quoting.
* "git status" can optionally include output from "git submodule
summary".
* "git svn" learned --add-author-from option to propagate the authorship
by munging the commit log message.
* "gitweb" can read from a system-wide configuration file.
