Currently, when an invalid revision is specified, the error message is:
fatal: Needed a single revision
This is misleading because, you might think there is something wrong
with the command line as a whole.
Now the user gets a more meaningful error message, showing the invalid
revision.

A recent change added functions whose entire standard error stream
is redirected to /dev/null using a construct that is valid POSIX.1
but is not widely used:
funcname () {
cd "$1" && run some command "$2"
} 2>/dev/null
Even though this file is "git-completion.bash", zsh completion
support dot-sources it (instead of asking bash to grok it like tcsh
completion does), and zsh does not implement this redirection
correctly.
With zsh, trying to complete an inexistant directory gave this:
git add no-such-dir/__git_ls_files_helper💿2: no such file or directory: no-such-dir/
Also these functions use "cd" to first go somewhere else before
running a command, but the location the caller wants them to go that
is given as an argument to them should not be affected by CDPATH
variable the users may have set for their interactive session.
To fix both of these, wrap the body of the function in a subshell,
unset CDPATH at the beginning of the subshell, and redirect the
standard error stream of the subshell to /dev/null.

We originally thought the transition would need a period where "git add
[-u|-A]" without pathspec would be forbidden, but the warning is big
enough to scare people and teach them not to use it (or, if so, to
understand the consequences).

Currently this is cosmetic change - the merges are ignored, becuase the methods
(lookup_svn_merge, find_rev_before, find_rev_after) are failing on comparing text with number.
See http://www.open.collab.net/community/subversion/articles/merge-info.html
Extract:
The range r30430:30435 that was added to 1.5.x in this merge has a '*' suffix for 1.5.x\www.
This '*' is the marker for a non-inheritable mergeinfo range.
The '*' means that only the path on which the mergeinfo is explicitly set has had this range merged into it.

The documentation of '-A' and '-u' is very confusing for someone who
doesn't already know what they do. Describe them with fewer words and
clearer parallelism to each other and to the behavior of plain 'add'.
Also mention the default <pathspec> for '-A' as well as '-u', because
it applies to both.

Commit fea16b47b6 (Fri Jan 11 19:48:43 2013, Manlio Perillo,
git-completion.bash: add support for path completion), introduced a new
__gitcomp_file function that uses the bash builtin "compgen". The
function was redefined for ZSH in the deprecated section of
git-completion.bash, but not in the new git-completion.zsh script.
As a result, users of git-completion.zsh trying to complete "git add
fo<tab>" get an error:
git add fo__gitcomp_file:8: command not found: compgen
This patch adds the redefinition and removes the error.

Before 82dce99 (attr: more matching optimizations from .gitignore,
2012-10-15), .gitattributes did not have any special treatment of a
leading '!'. The docs, however, always said
The rules how the pattern matches paths are the same as in
`.gitignore` files; see linkgit:gitignore[5].
By those rules, leading '!' means pattern negation. So 82dce99
correctly determined that this kind of line makes no sense and should
be disallowed.
However, users who actually had a rule for files starting with a '!'
are in a bad position: before 82dce99 '!' matched that literal
character, so it is conceivable that users have .gitattributes with
such lines in them. After 82dce99 the unescaped version was
disallowed in such a way that git outright refuses to run(!) most
commands in the presence of such a .gitattributes. It therefore
becomes very hard to fix, let alone work with, such repositories.
Let's at least allow the users to fix their repos: change the fatal
error into a warning.

On WinXP, the windows credential helper doesn't work at all (due to missing
Cred[Un]PackAuthenticationBuffer APIs). On Win7, the credential format used
by wincred is incompatible with native Windows tools (such as the control
panel applet or 'cmdkey.exe /generic'). These Windows tools only set the
TargetName, UserName and CredentialBlob members of the CREDENTIAL
structure (where CredentialBlob is the UTF-16-encoded password).
Remove the unnecessary packing / unpacking of the password, along with the
related API definitions, for compatibility with Windows XP.
Don't use CREDENTIAL_ATTRIBUTEs to identify credentials for compatibility
with Windows credential manager tools. Parse the protocol, username, host
and path fields from the credential's target name instead.
Credentials created with an old wincred version will have mangled or empty
passwords after this change.
