Nothing exciting on 'maint' since 1.5.3.7.
On the 'master' front, we will soon be in feature freeze for 1.5.4.
Many topics that have been cooking in 'next' has been pushed out. This
round it is a rather large batch but hopefully it will not destabilize
it too much. Knock wood.
* "git pull --rebase" is a different way to integrate what you fetched
into your current branch.
* "git fast-export" produces datastream that can be fed to fast-import
to reproduce the history recorded in a git repository.
* gitk is now merged as a subdirectory of git.git project, in
preparation for its i18n.
* Value "true" for color.diff and color.status configuration used to
mean "always" (even when the output is not going to a terminal).
This has been corrected to mean the same thing as "auto".
* "git commit --allow-empty" allows you to create a single-parent
commit that records the same tree as its parent, overriding the usual
safety valve.
* "git stash random-text" does not create a new stash anymore. It was
a UI mistake. Use "git stash save random-text", or "git stash"
(without extra args) for that.
* HTTP proxy can be specified per remote repository using
remote.*.proxy configuration, or global http.proxy configuration
variable.
* "git rebase -i" also triggers rerere to help you repeated merges.
* "git prune --expire <time>" can exempt young loose objects from
getting pruned.
* "git branch --contains <commit>" can list branches that are
descendants of a given commit.
