Version 2.56 of the Git distributed
version-control system has been released.  It has 748 non-merge commits
since Git 2.55 was released back in
June; those commits came from 104 developers, 39 of whom are first-time
contributors.  New features include a safer workflow for conflict
resolution, smaller path-walk repacks, a new git history drop
sub-command, and much more.  LWN looked at Git
2.56 recently and the GitHub blog has a lengthy
look at 2.56 as well.
