It contains backports of the much talked about \"reuse\ndata from existing pack\" optimization from the master branch.\n\nHopefully this would help downloading from the kernel.org\nservers over git native protocol.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nChanges since v1.2.2 are as follows:\n\nCarl Worth:\n      git-add: Add support for --, documentation, and test.\n      git-push: Update documentation to describe the no-refspec behavior.\n\nJunio C Hamano:\n      format-patch: pretty-print timestamp correctly.\n      detect broken alternates.\n      pack-objects: reuse data from existing packs.\n      pack-objects: finishing touches.\n      git-repack: allow passing a couple of flags to pack-objects.\n      pack-objects: avoid delta chains that are too long.\n      Make \"empty ident\" error message a bit more helpful.\n      Delay \"empty ident\" errors until they really matter.\n      Keep Porcelainish from failing by broken ident after making changes.\n      pack-objects eye-candy: finishing touches.\n      git-fetch: follow tag only when tracking remote branch.\n\nNicolas Pitre:\n      nicer eye candies for pack-objects\n      also adds progress when actually writing a pack\n"}]}
