Since dbc6c74d08, git-svn has had
an expensive check for broken symlinks that exist in some
repositories. This leads to a heavy performance hit on
repositories with many empty blobs that are not supposed to be
symlinks.
The workaround is enabled by default; and may be disabled via:
git config svn.brokenSymlinkWorkaround false

map_user() allows to lookup and replace both email and

proper_name <proper_email> <commit_email> # New style

git submodule update --no-fetch makes it possible to use git submodule
update in complete offline mode by not fetching new revisions.
This does make sense in the following setup:
* There is an unstable and a stable branch in the super/master repository.
* The submodules might be at different revisions in the branches.
* You are at some place without internet connection ;)
With this patch it is now possible to change branches and update
the submodules to be at the recorded revision without online access.
Another advantage is that with -N the update operation is faster, because fetch is checking for new updates even if there was no fetch/pull on the super/master repository since the last update.

Because colors are no longer bounded to a single word (e.g.,
%Cred), this uses a more advanced syntax that features a
beginning and end delimiter (but the old syntax still
works). So you can now do:
git log --pretty=tformat:'%C(yellow)%h%C(reset) %s'

In some applications, words are not delimited by white space. To
allow for that, you can specify a regular expression describing
what makes a word with
git diff --color-words='[A-Za-z0-9]+'
Note that words cannot contain newline characters.
As suggested by Thomas Rast, the words are the exact matches of the
regular expression.
Note that a regular expression beginning with a '^' will match only
a word at the beginning of the hunk, not a word at the beginning of
a line, and is probably not what you want.

because the combined manual page file contains several nodes with the

This patch creates a simple (read: ugly) work-around by suppressing the

still works but they are not very useful. Common man-page headings like
DESCRIPTION and OPTIONS appear in the Info node list and they point to

Commit notes are blobs which are shown together with the commit
message. These blobs are taken from the notes ref, which you can
configure by the config variable core.notesRef, which in turn can
be overridden by the environment variable GIT_NOTES_REF.
The notes ref is a branch which contains "files" whose names are
the names of the corresponding commits (i.e. the SHA-1).
The rationale for putting this information into a ref is this: we
want to be able to fetch and possibly union-merge the notes,
maybe even look at the date when a note was introduced, and we
want to store them efficiently together with the other objects.
