+- `git_clone()` without a `path` argument now clones into a directory named after the
+"humanish" part of the URL, so "git@github.com:francisbarton/myrepo.git" gets cloned into `myrepo` (@francisbardon, #192).
 - `git_remote_set_pushurl()` gains an `add` argument to append push URLs instead of replacing them. (@robitalec, #128)
 - Fix `git_info()` for the case when no upstream is configured (@mpage, #263)
 - `git_branch_create()`: `force` now also applies to the checkout step, allowing branch creation even when local changes would be overwritten (@MichaelChirico, #177).
