* "git clone" learned "--single-branch" option to limit cloning to a
single branch (surprise!).

* "git clone" learned to detach the HEAD in the resulting repository
when the source repository's HEAD does not point to a branch.

* When showing a patch while ignoring whitespace changes, the context
lines are taken from the postimage, in order to make it easier to

* Using "git grep -l/-L" together with options -W or --break may not
make much sense as the output is to only count the number of hits
