Git v2.51 Release Notes

UI, Workflows & Features

  • Userdiff patterns for the R language have been added.

  • Documentation for "git send-email" has been updated with a bit more credential helper and OAuth information.

  • "git cat-file --batch" learns to understand %(objectmode) atom to allow the caller to tell missing objects (due to repository corruption) and submodules (whose commit objects are OK to be missing) apart.

  • "git diff --no-index dirA dirB" can limit the comparison with pathspec at the end of the command line, just like normal "git diff".

Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.

  • "git pack-objects" learned to find delta bases from blobs at the same path, using the --path-walk API.
