This release supports the "version 2" format of the .idx
file. This is automatically enabled when a huge packfile
needs more than 32-bit to express offsets of objects in the
- pack
+ pack.
* Comes with an updated git-gui 0.7.0
- Local "git fetch" from a repository whose object store is
one of the alternates (e.g. fetching from the origin in a
repository created with "git clone -l -s") avoids
- downloading objects unnecessary.
+ downloading objects unnecessarily.
- "git blame" uses .mailmap to canonicalize the author name
just like "git shortlog" does.
- "git cherry-pick" and "git revert" does not use .msg file in

- Parallel build with "make -j" descending into subdirectory
was fixed.
- The recursive merge strategy updated a worktree file that

renamed it. We do not do that when there is no rename, so
- match that behaviour.
