Updates since v1.7.1
--------------------
* core.eol configuration and eol attribute are the new way to control
the end of line conventions for files in the working tree;
core.autocrlf overrides it, keeping the traditional behaviour by
default.
* The whitespace rules used in "git apply --whitespace" and "git diff"
gained a new member in the family (tab-in-indent) to help projects with
policy to indent only with spaces.

environment variable can be used to tell git not to stop at a
filesystem boundary.
* Usage help messages generated by parse-options library (i.e. most
of the Porcelain commands) are sent to the standard output now.
* ':/<string>' notation to look for a commit now takes regular expression
and it is not anchored at the beginning of the commit log message
anymore (this is a backward incompatible change).
* "git" wrapper learned "-c name=value" option to override configuration
variable from the command line.
* Improved portability for various platforms including older SunOS,
HP-UX 10/11, AIX, Tru64, etc. and platforms with Python 2.4.
* The message from "git am -3" has been improved when conflict
resolution ended up making the patch a no-op.

lacks the display name didn't work (fb7749e4).
* "git cherry-pick" learned to pick a range of commits (e.g. "cherry-pick
A..B"); this does not have nicer sequencing control "rebase [-i]" has,
though.
* "git cvsserver" can be told to use pserver; its password file can be
stored outside the repository.

output.
* Various options to "git grep" (e.g. --count, --name-only) work better
with binary files.

renames). This may make the processing more expensive.
* "git ls-files ../out/side/cwd" works now.
* "git log --pretty=format:<template>" specifier learned "% <something>"
magic that inserts a space only when %<something> expands to a
non-empty string; this is similar to "%+<something>" magic, but is
useful in a context to generate a single line output.
* "git notes prune" learned "-n" (dry-run) and "-v" options, similar to
what "git prune" has.

* "git rev-list A..B" learned --ancestry-path option to further limit
the result to the commits that are on the ancestry chain between A and
B (i.e. commits that are not descendants of A are excluded).
* "git status [-s] --ignored" can be used to list ignored paths.

* We didn't URL decode "file:///path/to/repo" correctly when path/to/repo

* "git commit" did not honor GIT_REFLOG_ACTION environment variable, resulting
reflog messages for cherry-pick and revert actions to be recorded as "commit".
* "git clone/fetch/pull" issued an incorrect error message when a ref and
a symref that points to the ref were updated at the same time. This
obviously would update them to the same value, and should not result in
an error condition (7223dcaf).

* "git clone" did not configure remote.origin.url correctly for bare
clones (df61c889).
* "git diff" inside a tree with many pathnames that have certain
characters has become very slow in 1.7.0 by mistake (will merge
e53e6b443 to 'maint').
* "git diff --graph" works better with "--color-words" and other options
(81fa024..4297c0a).
* "git diff" could show ambiguous abbreviation of blob object names on
its "index" line (3e5a188).
* "git merge --log" used to replace the custom message given by "-m" with
the shortlog, instead of appending to it (tc/merge-m-log).

a nonstandard location is in use got confused (560fb6a1).
