* Unnecessary inefficiency in deepening of a shallow repository has

+ * "git clone" run locally hardlinks or copies the files in .git/ to

* Human writable date format to various options, e.g. --since=yesterday,
master@{2000.09.17}, are taught to infer some omitted input properly.
+ * A few programs gave verbose "advice" messages to help uninitiated
