| ======================== |
| |

| export-subst attribute. |
| |
| * git-for-each-ref learned %(xxxdate:<dateformat>) syntax to |
| show the various date fields in different formats. |
| |
| * git-gc --auto is a low-impact way to automatically run a |
| variant of git-repack that does not lose unreferenced objects |
| (read: safer than the usual one) after the user accumulates |
| too many loose objects. |
| |
| * git-push has been rewritten in C. |
| |
| * git-push learned --dry-run option to show what would happen |
| if a push is run. |
| |
| * git-remote learned "rm" subcommand. |
| |
| * git-rebase --interactive mode can now work on detached HEAD. |
| |
| * git-cvsserver can be run via git-shell. |
| |
| * git-am and git-rebase are far less verbose. |
| |
| * git-pull learned to pass --[no-]ff option to underlying git-merge. |
| |
| * Various Perforce importer updates. |
| |
| * git-lost-found was deprecated in favor of git-fsck's --lost-found |
| option. |
| |
| * git-svnimport was removed in favor of git-svn. |
| |
| * git-bisect learned "skip" action to mark untestable commits. |
| |
| * rename detection diff family, while detecting exact matches, |
| has been greatly optimized. |
| |
| * Example update and post-receive hooks have been improved. |
| |
| * In addition there are quite a few internal clean-ups. Notably |
| |
| - many fork/exec have been replaced with run-command API, |
| brought from the msysgit effort. |
| |
| - introduction and more use of the option parser API. |
| |
| - enhancement and more use of the strbuf API. |
