* "git worktree add" learned to run the post-checkout hook, just like
"git clone" runs it upon the initial checkout.
* "git tag" learned an explicit "--edit" option that allows the
message given via "-m" and "-F" to be further edited.
* "git fetch --prune-tags" may be used as a handy short-hand for
getting rid of stale tags that are locally held.
* The new "--show-current-patch" option gives an end-user facing way
to get the diff being applied when "git rebase" (and "git am")
stops with a conflict.
* "git add -p" used to offer "/" (look for a matching hunk) as a
choice, even there was only one hunk, which has been corrected.
Also the single-key help is now given only for keys that are
enabled (e.g. help for '/' won't be shown when there is only one
hunk).
* Since Git 1.7.9, "git merge" defaulted to --no-ff (i.e. even when
the side branch being merged is a descendant of the current commit,
create a merge commit instead of fast-forwarding) when merging a
tag object. This was appropriate default for integrators who pull
signed tags from their downstream contributors, but caused an
unnecessary merges when used by downstream contributors who
habitually "catch up" their topic branches with tagged releases
from the upstream. Update "git merge" to default to --no-ff only
when merging a tag object that does *not* sit at its usual place in
refs/tags/ hierarchy, and allow fast-forwarding otherwise, to
mitigate the problem.
