Bitbucket[1] also mentions a few other new cool stuff in 2.9, like making the `--verbose` flag to `git commit` default:

    git config −−global commit.verbose true

Maybe I'm missing something, but that link doesn't say commit.verbose is true by default, it just documents the new setting you can set.

by default it is false. but commit.verbose is introduced by git 2.9. setting it before 2.9 didn't have any effect.
