Version 2.40.0 of the Git source-code management system is out.
Changes include a new --merge-base option for merges,
a built-in implementation of bisection,
Emacs support for git jump,
a fair number of smallish user-interface tweaks, and a lot of bug fixes.
See the announcement and this GitHub
blog entry for the details.
