Git 2.46 has been released, featuring contributions from over 96 contributors, including 31 newcomers. Key highlights include the introduction of pseudo-merge bitmaps, enhanced credential helpers, and a new git config command. Pseudo-merge bitmaps optimize the process of determining which objects to send during fetch requests by allowing Git to store the set of objects reachable from multiple commits, rather than just individual ones. This innovation aims to speed up object traversals, which can be slow depending on the size of the "haves" and "wants" sets.
Additionally, Git Merge, a conference for Git users and developers, is scheduled for September 19-20 in Berlin, co-hosted by GitHub and GitButler. The call for proposals is open until August 1. The release also includes various bug fixes and improvements, continuing the evolution of Git as a vital tool for developers. Users are encouraged to explore the new features and configurations, particularly the experimental pseudo-merge bitmaps, which can be enabled in repositories for improved performance. Overall, Git 2.46 represents a significant step forward in enhancing the efficiency and capabilities of the Git version control system.
