+ * core.eol configuration and text/eol attributes are the new way to control
+ the end of line conventions for files in the working tree.

+ * core.autocrlf has been made safer - it will now only handle line
+ endings for new files and files that are LF-only in the
+ repository. To normalize content that has been checked in with
+ CRLF, use the new eol/text attributes.

* The whitespace rules used in "git apply --whitespace" and "git diff"
gained a new member in the family (tab-in-indent) to help projects with
policy to indent only with spaces.
