5 --------------------
7 * Comes with much improved gitk.

25 export-subst attribute.
27 * git-for-each-ref learned %(xxxdate:<dateformat>) syntax to
28 show the various date fields in different formats.
30 * git-gc --auto is a low-impact way to automatically run a
31 variant of git-repack that does not lose unreferenced objects
32 (read: safer than the usual one) after the user accumulates
33 too many loose objects.
35 * git-push has been rewritten in C.
37 * git-push learned --dry-run option to show what would happen
38 if a push is run.
40 * git-remote learned "rm" subcommand.
42 * git-rebase --interactive mode can now work on detached HEAD.
44 * git-cvsserver can be run via git-shell.
46 * git-am and git-rebase are far less verbose.
48 * git-pull learned to pass --[no-]ff option to underlying git-merge.
50 * Various Perforce importer updates.
52 * git-lost-found was deprecated in favor of git-fsck's --lost-found
53 option.
55 * git-svnimport was removed in favor of git-svn.
57 * git-bisect learned "skip" action to mark untestable commits.
59 * rename detection diff family, while detecting exact matches,
60 has been greatly optimized.
62 * Example update and post-receive hooks have been improved.
