Git 2.49.0-rc0 released

Junio C. Hamano has announced the release of Git v2.49-rc0, featuring enhancements to the user interface, workflows, and functionality. The release features enhancements to the completion script for zsh, including the implementation of an alternative path-hash function for delta-base selection, the addition of "git backfill" for bulk-downloading essential files, and updated documentation for "git commit" and "git rebase," which now correctly refers to commit titles. The release additionally features enhanced -Wsign-compare fixes, a meson-based build that now accommodates the unsafe-sha1 build knob, streamlined code for verifying LSan results, and an increased number of code paths with a repository integrated into the callchain. The release introduces a new API that facilitates batch visits to objects based on a common path or type. Additionally, it provides an early opt-in option for the removal of support for the $GIT_DIR/branches/ and $GIT_DIR/remotes/ directories for remote configuration. The code paths for interacting with zlib have been refined, and an interface for Rust has been introduced. The documentation.txt files have been renamed to .adoc to enhance compatibility with content-aware editors.
