* "git fetch --jobs=0" used to hit a BUG(), which has been corrected
to use the available CPUs.
* An invalid label or ref in the "rebase -i" todo file used to
trigger an runtime error. SUch an error is now diagnosed while the
todo file is parsed.
* The "diff" drivers specified by the "diff" attribute attached to
paths can now specify which algorithm (e.g. histogram) to use.
* "git range-diff" learned --abbrev=<num> option.
* "git archive HEAD^{tree}" records the paths with the current
timestamp in the archive, making it harder to obtain a stable
output. The command learned the --mtime option to specify an
arbitrary timestamp (e.g. --mtime="@0 +0000" for the epoch).
* The credential subsystem learned that a password may have an
explicit expiration.
* The format.attach configuration variable lacked a way to override a
value defined in a lower-priority configuration file (e.g. the
system one) by redefining it in a higher-priority configuration
file. Now, setting format.attach to an empty string means show the
patch inline in the e-mail message, without using MIME attachment.
This is a backward incompatible change.
