I wonder how hard it is to teach it new languages.
All you need to do is write a regex to match. Currently supported languages are:
BibTeX, C/C++, html, java, ObjectiveC, Pascal, PHP, Python, Ruby, and TeX.
More details can be found in the gitattributes(5) manpage

Isn't it kind of odd that that isn't the default, given that diff=python is already built in?
The "[command] learned [option]" construct is a really interesting way to phrase directed development effort. I'm not quite sure what the implications are, but it definitely changed the way I parsed and understood the post. "Git is getting smarter" versus "New features have been added to git."
We all know that Git will, one day, take over the world.

Whatever happened to generation numbers?
IIRC (I read the git mailing list) there was a lot of arguing about whether generation numbers should be in the commit headers or stored in separate cache, and then a different fix went in to speed up "tag --contains" and the discussion was pretty much abandoned.
wow. I didn't even know about git grep. Very useful
It's probably my most commonly-used git command, to the point where I have it aliased to "g g".
You guys should really look into http://betterthangrep.com/ :)
Nice summary. Thanks!
That should make --function-context work better on python source files.
