Git distributed version control system received a new release with 503 new features and bug fixes from 85 new developers, 34 of which are new.
New features included in the update:
- Numerous objects that are located in several different pack files with multi-pack-index can now be reused without being packed into one file.
- Git replay command that can be used for recreating history in bare repositories, simultaneous processing of several branches, and executing rebase commands for branches other than the one extracted right now.
- git rebase --autosquash command can now be used for rebase operations in non-interactive mode, so one can run rebase with fixup without checking the task list or changing the GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR$ environment variable.
- GitLab CI integration.
- git add and git stash commands now have :(attr:...) path attribute support as well as a new attribute builtin_objectmode, allowing to filter files according to access rights.
- git config advice.pushAlreadyExists parameter can now be set to true, which will remove the Disable this message with box.
