* "git branch --vv" learned to paint the name of the branch it
39+
integrates with in a different color (color.branch.upstream,
40+
which defaults to blue).
41+
42+
* "git count-objects" learned "--human-readable" aka "-H" option to
43+
show various large numbers in Ki/Mi/GiB scaled as necessary.
44+
45+
* "git cherry-pick $blob" and "git cherry-pick $tree" are nonsense,
46+
and a more readable error message e.g. "can't cherry-pick a tree"
47+
is given (we used to say "expected exactly one commit").
48+

* The "--annotate" option to "git send-email" can be turned on (or
3650
off) by default with sendemail.annotate configuration variable (you
3751
can use --no-annotate from the command line to override it).

* "rev-list --stdin" and friends kept bogus pointers into input
202+
buffer around as human readble object names. This was not a huge
203+
problem but was exposed by a new change that uses these names in

error output.
