* Bash completion script in contrib/ has been adjusted to be also
usable by zsh.

* Different pagers can be chosen depending on which subcommand is
being run under the pager, using "pager.<subcommand>" variable.

* The hardcoded tab-width of 8 used in whitespace breakage checks is now
configurable via the attributes mechanism.

* Support of case insensitive filesystems (i.e. "core.ignorecase") has
been improved. For example, the gitignore mechanism didn't pay attention
to the case insensitivity.

* The <tree>:<path> syntax to name a blob in a tree, and :<path>
syntax to name a blob in the index (e.g. "master:Makefile",
":hello.c") have been extended. You can start <path> with "./" to
implicitly have the (sub)directory you are in prefixed to the
lookup. Similarly, ":../Makefile" from a subdirectory would mean
"the Makefile of the parent directory in the index".

* "git blame" learned --show-email option to display the e-mail
addresses instead of the names of authors.

* "git commit" learned --fixup and --squash options to help later invocation
of the interactive rebase.

* "git daemon" can be built in MinGW environment.

* "git daemon" can take more than one --listen option to listen to
multiple addresses.

* "git describe --exact-match" was optimized not to read commit
objects unnecessarily.

* "git diff" and "git grep" learned how functions and subroutines
in Fortran look like.

* "git fetch" learned "--recurse-submodules" option.

* "git mergetool" tells vim/gvim to show three-way diff by default
(use vimdiff2/gvimdiff2 as the tool name for old behaviour).

git-only login over ssh as login shell, with custom set of
commands.

* The current branch name in "git status" output can be colored differently
from the generic header color by setting "color.status.branch" variable.

* "git submodule sync" updates metainformation for all submodules,
not just the ones that have been checked out.

* gitweb can use custom 'highlight' command with its configuration file.

* other gitweb updates.


Also contains various documentation updates.
