* "git add -N path..." adds the named paths as an empty blob, so that
subsequent "git diff" will show a diff as if they are creation events.

* "git add" gained a built-in synonym for people who want to say "stage
changes" instead of "add contents the the staging area" which amounts
to the same thing.

* "git apply" learned --include=paths option, similar to the existing
--exclude=paths option.

* "git bisect" is careful about a user mistake and suggests testing of
merge base first when good is not a strict ancestor of bad.

* "git bisect skip" can take a range of commits.

* "git blame" re-encodes the commit metainfo to UTF-8 from i18n.commitEncoding
by default.

is a path in it).

* "git am" after stopping at a broken patch lost --whitespace, -C, -p and
--3way options given from the command line initially.

* "git diff --stdin" used to take two trees on a line and compared them,

* "git rm --cached" used to allow an empty blob that was added earlier to
be removed without --force, even when the file in the work tree has
since been modified.

* "git push --tags --all $there" failed with generic usage message without
telling saying these two options are incompatible.
