Changes 2.7.0:

UI, Workflows & Features

* The appearance of "gitk", particularly on high DPI monitors, have
  been improved.  "gitk" also comes with an undated translation for
  Swedish and Japanese.

* "git remote" learned "get-url" subcommand to show the URL for a
  given remote name used for fetching and pushing.

* There was no way to defeat a configured rebase.autostash variable
  from the command line, as "git rebase --no-autostash" was missing.

* "git log --date=local" used to only show the normal (default)
  format in the local timezone.  The command learned to take 'local'
  as an instruction to use the local timezone with other formats,

* The refs used during a "git bisect" session is now per-worktree so
  that independent bisect sessions can be done in different worktrees
  created with "git worktree add".

* Users who are too busy to type three extra keystrokes to ask for
  "git stash show -p" can now set stash.showPatch configuration
  variable to true to always see the actual patch, not just the list
  of paths affected with feel for the extent of damage via diffstat.

* "quiltimport" allows to specify the series file by honoring the
  $QUILT_SERIES environment and also --series command line option.

* The use of 'good/bad' in "git bisect" made it confusing to use when
  hunting for a state change that is not a regression (e.g. bugfix).
  The command learned 'old/new' and then allows the end user to
  say e.g. "bisect start --term-old=fast --term-new=slow" to find a
  performance regression.

* "git interpret-trailers" can now run outside of a Git repository.

* "git p4" learned to reencode the pathname it uses to communicate
  with the p4 depot with a new option.

* Give progress meter to "git filter-branch".

* Allow a later "!/abc/def" to override an earlier "/abc" that
  appears in the same .gitignore file to make it easier to express
  "everything in /abc directory is ignored, except for ...".

* Teach "git p4" to send large blobs outside the repository by
  talking to Git LFS.

* Prepare for Git on-disk repository representation to undergo
  backward incompatible changes by introducing a new repository
  format version "1", with an extension mechanism.

* "git worktree" learned a "list" subcommand.

* "git clone --dissociate" learned that it can be used even when
  "--reference" was not used at the same time.

* "git blame" learnt to take "--first-parent" and "--reverse" at the
  same time when it makes sense.

* "git checkout" did not follow the usual "--[no-]progress"
  convention and implemented only "--quiet" that is essentially
  a superset of "--no-progress".  Extend the command to support the
  usual "--[no-]progress".

* The semantics of transfer.hideRefs configuration variable have been
  extended to work better with the ref "namespace" feature that lets
  you throw unrelated bunches of repositories in a single physical
  repository and virtually serve them as separate ones.

* send-email config variables whose values are pathnames now go
  through the ~username/ expansion.

* bash completion learnt to TAB-complete recipient addresses given
  to send-email.

* The credential-cache daemon can be told to ignore SIGHUP to work
  around issue when running Git from inside emacs.

* "git push" learned new configuration for doing "--recurse-submodules"
  on each push.

* "format-patch" has learned a new option to zero-out the commit
  object name on the mbox "From " line.
