Now you can with\n  %aN and %cN.\n\n* Bash completion wasted too many cycles; this has been optimized to be\n  usable again.\n\n* Bash completion lost ref part when completing something like \"git show\n  pu:Makefile\".\n\n* \"git-cvsserver\" did not clean up its temporary working area after annotate\n  request.\n\n* \"git-daemon\" called syslog() from its signal handler, which was a\n  no-no.\n\n* \"git-fetch\" into an empty repository used to remind that the fetch will\n   be huge by saying \"no common commits\", but this was an unnecessary\n   noise; it is already known by the user anyway.\n\n* \"git-http-fetch\" would have segfaulted when pack idx file retrieved\n  from the other side was corrupt.\n\n* \"git-index-pack\" used too much memory when dealing with a deep delta chain.\n\n* \"git-mailinfo\" (hence \"git-am\") did not correctly handle in-body [PATCH]\n  line to override the commit title taken from the mail Subject header.\n\n* \"git-rebase -i -p\" lost parents that are not involved in the history\n  being rewritten.\n\n* \"git-rm\" lost track of where the index file was when GIT_DIR was\n  specified as a relative path.\n\n* \"git-rev-list --quiet\" was not quiet as advertised.\n\nContains other various documentation fixes.\n"}]}
