* git-apply can handle a patch that touches the same path more than once
much better than before.
* git-apply can be told not to trust the line counts recorded in the input
patch but recount, with the new --recount option.
* git-archive can be told to omit certain paths from its output using
export-ignore attributes.
* git-clone can clone from a remote whose URL would be rewritten by
configuration stored in $HOME/.gitconfig now.
* git-diff --check now checks leftover merge conflict markers.
* When remote side used to have branch 'foo' and git-fetch finds that now
it has branch 'foo/bar', it refuses to lose the existing remote tracking
branch and its reflog. The error message has been improved to suggest
pruning the remote if the user wants to proceed and get the latest set
of branches from the remote, including such 'foo/bar'.
* fast-export learned to export and import marks file; this can be used to
interface with fast-import incrementally.
* Original SHA-1 value for "update-ref -d" is optional now.
* git-send-mail can talk not just over SSL but over TLS now.
* You can tell "git status -u" to even more aggressively omit checking
untracked files with --untracked-files=no.
