(subsystems)

* "git fast-import" updates; adds "option" and "feature" to detect the
mismatch between fast-import and the frontends that produce the input
stream.

(portability)

(performance)

(usability, bells and whistles)

* More commands learned "--quiet" and "--[no-]progress" options.

* Various commands given by the end user (e.g. diff.type.textconv,
and GIT_EDITOR) can be specified with command line arguments. E.g. it
is now possible to say "[diff "utf8doc"] textconv = nkf -w".

* "sparse checkout" feature allows only part of the work tree to be
checked out.

* HTTP transfer can use authentication scheme other than basic
(i.e./e.g. digest).

* "git checkout A...B" is a way to detach HEAD at the merge base between
A and B.

* "git commit --date='<date>'" can be used to override the author date
just like "git commit --author='<name> <email>'" can be used to
override the author identity.

* "git commit --no-status" can be used to omit the listing of the index
and the work tree status in the editor used to prepare the log message.

* "git fetch --all" can now be used in place of "git remote update".

* "git push" learned "git push origin --delete branch", a syntactic sugar
for "git push origin :branch".

* "git rebase --onto A...B" means the history is replayed on top of the
merge base between A and B.

* Use of "git reset --merge" has become easier when resetting away a
conflicted mess left in the work tree.

* "git status" learned "-s(hort)" output format.

(developers)

* The infrastructure to build foreign SCM interface has been updated.
