+ * "git pull" has been taught to accept "--[no-]signoff" option and

+
+ * The "--push-option=<string>" option to "git push" now defaults to a

+
+ * "gitweb" checks if a directory is searchable with Perl's "-x"

+   pragma, which now we do.

+ * "git stash save" has been deprecated in favour of "git stash push".

  * An earlier update made it possible to use an on-stack in-core
    lockfile structure (as opposed to having to deliberately leak an
    on-heap one).  Many codepaths have been updated to take advantage
    of this new facility.
-   (merge b74c90fb41 ma/lockfile-fixes later to maint).
 
  * Calling cmd_foo() as if it is a general purpose helper function is
    a no-no.  Correct two instances of such to set an example.

  * We try to see if somebody runs our test suite with a shell that
    does not support "local" like bash/dash does.
