Version 2.34.0 of the Git source-code management system is out.
“It is comprised of 834 non-merge commits since
v2.33.0, contributed by 109 people, 29 of which are new faces“. See
this
GitHub blog post for a look at some of the more significant changes in
this release:

ort does just that: it’s a full-blown rewrite of the merge strategy
that aims to emulate the same concepts behind recursive while
avoiding many of its long-standing performance and correctness
problems. In a merge containing many renames, ort outperforms
recursive by 500x. For a series of similar merges (like in a rebase
operation), the speedup is over 9000x since ort can cache and reuse
results from previous merges.
