+# blame: fix update from buffer
+remote: add callbacks for connect/disconnect
+- implemented into gittyup branch of libgit2
+
+# hash: changed git_repository_hashfile to hash symlinks the same as when they are added to the index
+
+# submodule: pass absolute path to clone
+The init callback worked because it uses the parent repo path to contruct
+distinct repo and working directories, but the tests for an existing empty
+directory in git_clone were relative to the current working directory
+instead of the parent repository directory.
+
+# submodule: changed git_submodule_status to take a submodule instead of a repo and name
+- not needed anymore!
+
+

+
+# push: fixed several update callback issues
+# Update callback is no longer called (and the reference isn't updated) when the
+# local and remote oids already match. The update callback is now called for tags.
+# Finally, fixed a leak when there are multiple refspecs.
+
+
