+ * You need to explicitly set clean.requireForce to "false" to allow
+   git-clean to do any damage (lack of the configuration variable
+   used to mean "do not require", but we now use the safer default).

  * git-push has been rewritten in C.

  * git-lost-found was deprecated in favor of git-fsck's --lost-found
    option.
 
+ * "git log" learned --early-output option to help interactive

+
  * git-svnimport was removed in favor of git-svn.
 
  * git-bisect learned "skip" action to mark untestable commits.
 
- * rename detection diff family, while detecting exact matches,
+ * git-format-patch learned "format.numbered" configuration variable
+   to automatically turn --numbered option on when more than one
+   commits are formatted.
+
+ * git-ls-files learned "--exclude-standard" to use the canned
+   set of exclude files.
+
+ * git-rebase now detaches head during its operation, so after a
+   successful "git rebase" operation, the reflog entry branch@{1}
+   for the current branch points at the commit before the rebase
+   was started.

+ * "git-tag -a -f existing" begins the editor session using the
+   existing annotation message.
+
+ * "git cvsexportcommit" learned -w option to specify and switch
+   to the CVS working directory.
+
+ * "git checkout" from a subdirectory learned to use "../path"
+   to allow checking out a path outside the current directory
+   without cd'ing up.
+
+ * Output processing for '--pretty=format:<user format>' has
+   been optimized.

+ * Rename detection diff family, while detecting exact matches,
    has been greatly optimized.
