+ * The command line parser learned "--end-of-options" notation; the
+   standard convention for scripters to have hardcoded set of options
+   first on the command line, and force the command to treat end-user
+   input as non-options, has been to use "--" as the delimiter, but
+   that would not work for commands that use "--" as a delimiter
+   between revs and pathspec.
+
+ * A mechanism to affect the default setting for a (related) group of
+   configuration variables is introduced.
+
+ * "git fetch" learned "--set-upstream" option to help those who first
+   clone from their private fork they intend to push to, add the true
+   upstream via "git remote add" and then "git fetch" from it.
+
+ * Device-tree files learned their own userdiff patterns.
