* Bash completion script in contrib/ has been adjusted to be also
3030
usable by zsh.

* Different pagers can be chosen depending on which subcommand is
33+
being run under the pager, using "pager.<subcommand>" variable.
34+
35+
* The hardcoded tab-width of 8 used in whitespace breakage checks is now
36+
configurable via the attributes mechanism.
37+
38+
* Support of case insensitive filesystems (i.e. "core.ignorecase") has
39+
been improved. For example, the gitignore mechanism didn't pay attention
40+
to the case insensitivity.
41+
42+
* The <tree>:<path> syntax to name a blob in a tree, and :<path>
43+
syntax to name a blob in the index (e.g. "master:Makefile",
44+
":hello.c") have been extended. You can start <path> with "./" to
45+
implicitly have the (sub)directory you are in prefixed to the
46+
lookup. Similarly, ":../Makefile" from a subdirectory would mean
47+
"the Makefile of the parent directory in the index".
48+

* "git blame" learned --show-email option to display the e-mail
3350
addresses instead of the names of authors.
3451

52+
* "git commit" learned --fixup and --squash options to help later invocation
53+
of the interactive rebase.
54+
3555
* "git daemon" can be built in MinGW environment.
3656

3757
* "git daemon" can take more than one --listen option to listen to
3858
multiple addresses.
3959

60+
* "git describe --exact-match" was optimized not to read commit
61+
objects unnecessarily.
62+
4063
* "git diff" and "git grep" learned how functions and subroutines
4164
in Fortran look like.
4265

66+
* "git fetch" learned "--recurse-submodules" option.
67+
4368
* "git mergetool" tells vim/gvim to show three-way diff by default
4469
(use vimdiff2/gvimdiff2 as the tool name for old behaviour).
