-When the user does not tell "git push" what to push, it has always
-pushed matching refs.  For some people it is unexpected, and a new
-configuration variable push.default has been introduced to allow
-changing a different default behaviour.  To advertise the new feature,

 (performance)

 (usability, bells and whistles)
 
  * "git add --edit" lets users edit the whole patch text to fine-tune what

+ * "git cvsexportcommit" learned -k option to stop CVS keywords expansion
+
+ * "git grep" learned -p option to show the location of the match using the
+   same context hunk marker "git diff" uses.
+
+ * https transport can optionally be told that the used client

+   password only once.
+
+ * "git imap-send" is IPv6 aware.
+
  * "git log --graph" draws graphs more compactly by using horizonal lines
    when able.
 
  * "git log --decorate" shows shorter refnames by stripping well-known
    refs/* prefix.
 
+ * "git push $name" honors remote.$name.pushurl if present before
+   using remote.$name.url.  In other words, the URL used for fetching
+   and pushing can be different.

  * "git send-email" understands quoted aliases in .mailrc files (might
    have to be backported to 1.6.3.X).
