Highlights from Git 2.56
By BIOS Founding Team
The GitHub Blog walks through the release. Merge-base searches got much faster: one monorepo traversal dropped from 0.68 seconds to 0.01 seconds, and a Linux kernel case from 167,441 steps to 3,887.
Path-walk repacking now works with bitmaps and delta islands, and a Fluent UI benchmark pack shrank by about 71 percent. The feature is off by default. Reftable and untracked-file performance also improved, and one Chromium git diff fell from about eight minutes to 0.07 seconds.
