* "diff.noprefix" configuration variable can be used to implicitly
ask for "diff --no-prefix" behaviour.

* "git for-each-ref" learned "%(objectname:short)" that gives the object
name abbreviated.

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

* "git help -w" learned "chrome" and "chromium" browsers.

* "git log --follow <path>" follows across copies (it used to only follow
renames). This may make the processing more expensive.

* "git diff --graph" works better with "--color-words" and other options

* "git diff" could show ambiguous abbreviation of blob object names on
its "index" line (3e5a188).

the shortlog, instead of appending to it (tc/merge-m-log).
