* Most of the test scripts (but not the ones that try to run servers)
can be run in parallel.
+* Bash completion of refnames in a repository with massive number of
+ refs has been optimized.
+
(usability, bells and whistles)
+* When you mistype a command name, git helpfully suggests what it guesses
+ you might have meant to say. help.autocorrect configuration can be set
+ to a non-zero value to accept the suggestion when git can uniquely
+ guess.
+
+* "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 checkout --track origin/hack" used to be a syntax error. It now
DWIMs to create a corresponding local branch "hack", i.e. acts as if you
said "git checkout --track -b hack origin/hack".
* "git diff" learned to put more sensible hunk headers for Python and
HTML contents.
+* "git diff" learned to vary the a/ vs b/ prefix depending on what are
+ being compared, controlled by diff.mnemonicprefix configuration.
+
+* "git for-each-ref" learned "refname:short" token that gives an
+ unambiguously abbreviated refname.
+
* "git help" learned to use GIT_MAN_VIEWER environment variable before
using "man" program.
* "git log" learned --simplify-merges, a milder variant of --full-history;
"gitk --simplify-merges" is easier to view than with --full-history.
+* "git log --pretty=format:" learned "%d" format element that inserts
+ names of tags that point at the commit.
+
* "git merge --squash" and "git merge --no-ff" into an unborn branch are
noticed as user errors.
