We have the '+' modifiier which helps combine format specifiers which
may possibly be empty, e.g. '%s%+b%n'.
Introduce an analogous ' ' (space) modifier which adds a space before
non-empty items. This helps assemble "one line type" format specifiers.

By default, git uses the version string as the signature for all
patches output by format-patch. Many employers (mine included)
require the use of a signature on all outgoing mails. In a
format-patch | send-email workflow there isn't an easy way to modify
the signature without breaking the pipe and manually replacing the
version string with the signature required. Instead of doing all that
work, add an option (--signature) and a config variable
(format.signature) to replace the default git version signature when
formatting patches.
This does modify the original behavior of format-patch a bit. First
off the version string is now placed in the cover letter by default.
Secondly, once the configuration variable format.signature is added
to the .config file there is no way to revert back to the default
git version signature. Instead, specifying the --no-signature option
will remove the signature from the patches entirely.

The "a" and "d" commands to ‘add --patch’ (accept/reject rest of file)
interact with "j", "g", and "/" (skip some hunks) in a perhaps
confusing way: after accepting or rejecting all _later_ hunks in the
file, they return to the earlier, skipped hunks and prompt the user
about them again.
This behavior can be very useful in practice. One can still accept or
reject _all_ undecided hunks in a file by using the "g" command to
move to hunk #1 first.

Suppose you want to edit all files that contain a specific search term.
Of course, you can do something totally trivial such as
git grep -z -e <term> | xargs -0r vi +/<term>
but maybe you are happy that the same will be achieved by
git grep -Ovi <term>
now.

This adds an option to open the matching files in the pager, and if the
pager happens to be "less" (or "vi") and there is only one grep pattern,
it also jumps to the first match right away.
The short option was chose as '-O' to avoid clashes with GNU grep's
options (as suggested by Junio).
So, 'git grep -O abc' is a short form for 'less +/abc $(grep -l abc)'
except that it works also with spaces in file names, and it does not
start the pager if there was no matching file.

Add an option to git-instaweb which allows the usage of the old
gitweb_config.perl situated in '.git/gitweb' dir. When the option
is in use, gitweb_config.perl generated by git-instaweb won't be
overwritten.
Usage:
git instaweb --reuse-config
Example:
When I use git-instaweb, it is tiring to add customised
configuration (like highlight featues enabling) to the gitweb_config.perl
file everytime I initiate the server. With this,it's enough to use
this option.

The rebase --preserve-merges facility presents a list of commits
in its instruction sheet and uses a separate table to keep
track of their parents. Unfortunately, in practice this means
that with -p after most attempts to rearrange patches, some
commits have the "wrong" parent and the resulting history is
rarely what the caller expected.
Yes, it would be nice to fix that. But first, add a warning to the
manual to help the uninitiated understand what is going on.

Introduce a new configuration variable, "core.eol", that allows the user
to set which line endings to use for end-of-line-normalized files in the
working directory. It defaults to "native", which means CRLF on Windows
and LF everywhere else.
Note that "core.autocrlf" overrides core.eol. This means that
[core]
autocrlf = true
puts CRLFs in the working directory even if core.eol is set to "lf".

In the detailed explanation of how the revision machinery does history
simplification, the current text presents an example history and explains
how various options of the revision machinery affect the resulting list
of commits. The first simplification mode mentioned is the default mode,
in which a number of commits is omitted from the example graph according
to the history simplification rules. The text states (among other things)
that commit "C was considered via N, but is TREESAME", and therefore
omitted. However, the accompanying graph does not list the effect on the
implicit parentage, i.e. that commit I takes C's place as a parent of N.
Running 'git rev-list --parents P' does indeed list I as a second parent
of N, and the accompanying graph should therefore also show this line.
