* "git diff" compares the index and the working tree. For paths
10+
added with intent-to-add bit, the command shows the full contents
11+
of them as added, but the paths themselves were not marked as new
12+
files. They are now shown as new by default.
13+
14+
"git apply" learned the "--intent-to-add" option so that an
15+
otherwise working-tree-only application of a patch will add new
16+
paths to the index marked with the "intent-to-add" bit.

* The bulk of "git submodule foreach" has been rewritten in C.
22+
23+
* The in-core "commit" object had an all-purpose "void *util" field,
24+
which was tricky to use especially in library-ish part of the
25+
code. All of the existing uses of the field has been migrated to a
26+
more dedicated "commit-slab" mechanism and the field is eliminated.
27+
28+
* A less often used command "git show-index" has been modernized.
29+
(merge fb3010c31f jk/show-index later to maint).
30+
31+
* The conversion to pass "the_repository" and then "a_repository"
32+
throughout the object access API continues.
33+
34+
* Continuing with the idea to programatically enumerate various
35+
pieces of data required for command line completion, teach the
36+
codebase to report the list of configuration variables
37+
subcommands care about to help complete them.
38+
39+
* Separate "rebase -p" codepath out of "rebase -i" implementation to
40+
slim down the latter and make it easier to manage.

46+
* "git remote update" can take both a single remote nickname and a
47+
nickname for remote groups, and the completion script (in contrib/)
48+
has been taught about it.
49+
(merge 9cd4382ad5 ls/complete-remote-update-names later to maint).
50+
51+
* "git fetch --shallow-since=<cutoff>" that specifies the cut-off
52+
point that is newer than the existing history used to end up
53+
grabbing the entire history. Such a request now errors out.
54+
(merge e34de73c56 nd/reject-empty-shallow-request later to maint).
55+
56+
* Code cleanup.

(merge aee9be2ebe sg/update-ref-stdin-cleanup later to maint).
