The Git source-code management system is
at the core of development processes worldwide, so changes, especially
incompatible changes, are of great interest to the developers involved.
The Git 2.56 release, which can be expected around the end of September, is
currently available in release-candidate form. It
is not the most earth-shaking of releases, but the one that follows, which
might be the long-awaited Git 3.0, may well be.
