| Git v2.40 Release Notes |
| ======================= |
| |
| UI, Workflows & Features |
| |
| * "merge-tree" learns a new `--merge-base` option. |
| |
| * "git jump" (in contrib/) learned to present the "quickfix list" to |
| its standard output (instead of letting it consumed by the editor |
| it invokes), and learned to also drive emacs/emacsclient. |
| |
| * "git var UNKNOWN_VARIABLE" and "git var VARIABLE" with the variable |
| given an empty value used to behave identically. Now the latter |
| just gives an empty output, while the former still gives an error |
| message. |
| |
| |
| Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. |
| |
| * `git bisect` becomes a builtin. |
| |
| * The pack-bitmap machinery is taught to log the paths of redundant |
| bitmap(s) to trace2 instead of stderr. |
| |
| |
| |

| arguments when invoked directly. |
| (merge d4f7036887 rs/multi-filter-args later to maint). |
