when it takes too long.
* "git fetch" learned to fetch a commit at the tip of an unadvertised
ref by specifying a raw object name from the command line when the
server side supports this feature.
* "git count-objects -v" learned to report leftover temporary
packfiles and other garbage in the object store.
* A new read-only credential helper (in contrib/) to interact with
the .netrc/.authinfo files has been added.
