* "git fast-import" updates; adds "option" and "feature" to detect the
48+
mismatch between fast-import and the frontends that produce the input
49+
stream.

* More commands learned "--quiet" and "--[no-]progress" options.
58+
59+
* Various commands given by the end user (e.g. diff.type.textconv,
60+
and GIT_EDITOR) can be specified with command line arguments. E.g. it
61+
is now possible to say "[diff "utf8doc"] textconv = nkf -w".
62+
63+
* "sparse checkout" feature allows only part of the work tree to be
64+
checked out.
65+
66+
* HTTP transfer can use authentication scheme other than basic
67+
(i.e./e.g. digest).
68+
69+
* "git checkout A...B" is a way to detach HEAD at the merge base between
70+
A and B.
71+
5372
* "git commit --date='<date>'" can be used to override the author date
5473
just like "git commit --author='<name> <email>'" can be used to
5574
override the author identity.

76+
* "git commit --no-status" can be used to omit the listing of the index
77+
and the work tree status in the editor used to prepare the log message.
78+
79+
* "git fetch --all" can now be used in place of "git remote update".
80+
81+
* "git push" learned "git push origin --delete branch", a syntactic sugar
82+
for "git push origin :branch".
83+
84+
* "git rebase --onto A...B" means the history is replayed on top of the
85+
merge base between A and B.
86+
87+
* Use of "git reset --merge" has become easier when resetting away a
88+
conflicted mess left in the work tree.
89+
5790
* "git status" learned "-s(hort)" output format.
