* "git archive" can be told to pass the output to gzip compression and
produce "archive.tar.gz".

* "git bisect" can be used in a bare repository (provided if the test
you perform per each iteration does not need a working tree, of
course).

* "git check-attr" can take relative paths from the command line.

* "git check-attr" learned "--all" option to list the attributes for a
given path.

* "git checkout" (both the code to update the files upon checking out a
different branch, the code to checkout specific set of files) learned
to stream the data from object store when possible, without having to

* "git diff" learned "--histogram" option, to use a different diff
generation machinery stolen from jgit, which might give better
performance.

* "git fetch", "git push" and friends no longer show connection
errors for addresses that couldn't be connected when at least one
address succeeds (this is arguably a regression but a deliberate

submodule; it now goes on to update other submodules that can be
updated, and reports the ones with errors at the end.

* "git upload-pack" and "git receive-pack" learned to pretend only a
subset of the refs exist in a repository. This may help a site to
put many tiny repositories into one repository (this would not be
useful for larger repositories as repacking would be problematic).

* "git verify-pack" has been rewritten to use the "index-pack" machinery
that is more efficient in reading objects in packfiles.

Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes in 1.7.6.X maintenance track are
included in this release.

* Error exits from $PAGER were silently ignored.
(merge fc1b56f cb/maint-exec-error-report later).

* "git diff -c/--cc" mishandled a deletion that resolves a conflict, and
looked in the working tree instead.

* "git fetch" over smart-http transport used to abort when the
repository was updated between the initial connection and the
subsequent object transfer.

* "git push --quiet" was not really quiet.
