Currently, merging across changes in line ending normalization is
painful since files containing CRLF will conflict with normalized files,
even if the only difference between the two versions is the line
endings. Additionally, any "real" merge conflicts that exist are
obscured because every line in the file has a conflict.
Assume you start out with a repo that has a lot of text files with CRLF
checked in (A):
o---C
/ \
A---B---D
B: Add "* text=auto" to .gitattributes and normalize all files to
LF-only
C: Modify some of the text files
D: Try to merge C
You will get a ridiculous number of LF/CRLF conflicts when trying to
merge C into D, since the repository contents for C are "wrong" wrt the
new .gitattributes file.
Fix ll-merge so that the "base", "theirs" and "ours" stages are passed
through convert_to_worktree() and convert_to_git() before a three-way
merge. This ensures that all three stages are normalized in the same
way, removing from consideration differences that are only due to
normalization.
This feature is optional for now since it changes a low-level mechanism
and is not necessary for the majority of users. The "merge.renormalize"
config variable enables it.

Asciidoc interprets two dashes separated by spaces as a single big

git-send-email passes on an 8bit mail as-is even if it does not
declare a content-type. Because the user can edit email between
format-patch and send-email, such invalid mails are unfortunately not
very hard to come by.
Make git-send-email stop and ask about the encoding to use if it
encounters any such mail. Also provide a configuration setting to
permanently configure an encoding.

We have the '+' modifiier which helps combine format specifiers which

Introduce an analogous ' ' (space) modifier which adds a space before
non-empty items. This helps assemble "one line type" format specifiers.

By default, git uses the version string as the signature for all
patches output by format-patch. Many employers (mine included)
require the use of a signature on all outgoing mails. In a
format-patch | send-email workflow there isn't an easy way to modify
the signature without breaking the pipe and manually replacing the
version string with the signature required. Instead of doing all that
work, add an option (--signature) and a config variable
(format.signature) to replace the default git version signature when
formatting patches.
This does modify the original behavior of format-patch a bit. First
off the version string is now placed in the cover letter by default.
Secondly, once the configuration variable format.signature is added
to the .config file there is no way to revert back to the default
git version signature. Instead, specifying the --no-signature option
will remove the signature from the patches entirely.
