Modify cvs-migration.txt so it explains first how to develop against a
shared repository, then how to set up a shared repository, then how to
import a repository from cvs. Though this seems chronologically
backwards, it's still readable in this order, and it puts the more
commonly needed material closer to the front.
Remove the annotate/pickaxe section; perhaps it can find a place elsewhere
in the future. Remove most of the "why git is better than cvs" stuff from
the introduction.
Add some minor clarifications, including two that have come up several
times on the mailing list:
1. Recommend committing any changes before running pull.
2. Note that changes must be commited before they can be pushed.
Update the clone discussion to reflect the new --use-separate-remotes
default, and add a brief mention of git-cvsserver.

Allow images in one of web formats (PNG, GIF, JPEG) - actually files
with mimetype of image/png, image/git, image/jpeg - to be displayed in
"blob" view using <img /> element, instead of using "blob_plain" view
for them, like for all other files except also text/* mimetype files.
This makes possible to easily go to file history, to HEAD version of
the file, to appropriate commit etc; all of those are not available
in "blob_plain" (raw) view.

An earlier commit a9cb3c6e changed git-commit to use the
contents of MERGE_MSG even when we do not have MERGE_HEAD (the
rationale is in its log message).
However, the change tricks the following sequence to include a
merge message in a completely unrelated commit:
$ git pull somewhere
: oops, the conflicts are too much. forget it.
$ git reset --hard
: work work work
$ git commit
To fix this confusion, this patch makes "git reset" to remove
the leftover MERGE_MSG that was prepared when the user abandoned
the merge.

With making --use-separate-remote default when creating non-bare
clone, there was need for the flag which would turn off this behavior.
It was called --use-immingled-remote.
Immingle means to blend, to combine into one, to intermingle, but it
is a bit obscure word. I think it would be better to use simply
--no-separate-remote as the opposite to --use-separate-remote

SVN is not entirely consistent in returning log information and
sometimes returns file information when adding subdirectories,
and sometimes it does not (only returning information about the
directory that was added). This caused git-svn to occasionally
add a file to the list of files to be fetched twice. Now we
change the data structure to be hash to avoid repeated fetches.
As of now (in master), this only affects repositories fetched
without deltas enabled (file://, and when manually overriden
with GIT_SVN_DELTA_FETCH=0); so this bug mainly affects users of
1.4.4.1 and maint.

Commit 35e65ecc broke completion of local refs, e.g. "git pull . fo<tab>"
no longer would complete to "foo". Instead it printed out an internal
git error ("fatal: Not a git repository: '.'").
The break occurred when I tried to improve performance by switching from
git-peek-remote to git-for-each-ref. Apparently git-peek-remote will
drop into directory "$1/.git" (where $1 is its first parameter) if it
is given a repository with a working directory. This allowed the bash
completion code to work properly even though it was not handing over
the true repository directory.
So now we do a stat in bash to see if we need to add "/.git" to the
path string before running any command with --git-dir.
I also tried to optimize away two "git rev-parse --git-dir" invocations
in common cases like "git log fo<tab>" as typically the user is in the
top level directory of their project and therefore the .git subdirectory
is in the current working directory. This should make a difference on
systems where fork+exec might take a little while.
