A few regressions that you did not mention, but I think should be
addressed before 1.5.4:

 - extra newline in builtin-commit output. You found a case that
   needs it, but fixing it is non-trivial, and I wanted to get your
   input before preparing a patch. See

     http://mid.gmane.org/20071203075357.GB3614@sigill.intra.peff.net

 - git-clean's handling of directory wildcards. I didn't get a response
   to

     http://mid.gmane.org/20071206043247.GC5499@coredump.intra.peff.net

   I suspect there are still some bugs lurking in there, but it's hard
   to say because I don't know what the behavior _should_ be (there are
   some test cases in that email).

And perhaps not a regression, but I think we should bring git-svn's
handling of color.* in line with the changes to the rest of the code
before 1.5.4. I posted a "last resort" patch, but I think with your
changes to "git config --colorbool" it might be possible to use that.
I'll try to work up a new patch.
