* Some people feel the default set of colors used by "git log --graph"
rather limiting. A mechanism to customize the set of colors has
been introduced.
(merge 512aba261a nd/log-graph-configurable-colors later to maint).
* "git read-tree" and its underlying unpack_trees() machinery learned
to report problematic paths prefixed with the --super-prefix option.
* When a submodule "A", which has another submodule "B" nested within
it, is "absorbed" into the top-level superproject, the inner
submodule "B" used to be left in a strange state. The logic to
adjust the .git pointers in these submodules has been corrected.
* The user can specify a custom update method that is run when
"submodule update" updates an already checked out submodule. This
was ignored when checking the submodule out for the first time and
we instead always just checked out the commit that is bound to the
path in the superproject's index.
* The command line completion (in contrib/) learned that
"git diff --submodule=" can take "diff" as a recently added option.
* The "core.logAllRefUpdates" that used to be boolean has been
enhanced to take 'always' as well, to record ref updates to refs
other than the ones that are expected to be updated (i.e. branches,
remote-tracking branches and notes).

* "git diff" and its family had two experimental heuristics to shift
the contents of a hunk to make the patch easier to read. One of
them turns out to be better than the other, so leave only the
"--indent-heuristic" option and remove the other one.

* "make -C t failed" will now run only the tests that failed in the

is serviceable.
