Git 2.33 Release Notes
======================
Updates since Git 2.32
----------------------
UI, Workflows & Features
* "git send-email" learned the "--sendmail-cmd" command line option
and the "sendemail.sendmailCmd" configuration variable, which is a
more sensible approach than the current way of repurposing the
"smtp-server" that is meant to name the server to instead name the
command to talk to the server.
* The userdiff pattern for C# learned the token "record".
* "git rev-list" learns to omit the "commit " header
lines from the output with the `--no-commit-header` option.
* "git worktree add --lock" learned to record why the worktree is
locked with a custom message.
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* The code to handle the "--format" option in "for-each-ref" and
friends made too many string comparisons on %(atom)s used in the
format string, which has been corrected by converting them into
enum when the format string is parsed.
* Use the hashfile API in the codepath that writes the index file to
reduce code duplication.
* Repeated rename detections in a sequence of mergy operations have
been optimized out for the 'ort' merge strategy.
* Preliminary clean-up of tests before the main reftable changes
hits the codebase.
* The backend for "diff -G/-S" has been updated to use pcre2 engine
when available.
* Use ".DELETE_ON_ERROR" pseudo target to simplify our Makefile.
* Code cleanup around struct_type_init() functions.
* "git send-email" optimization.
* GitHub Actions / CI update.
(merge 0dc787a9f2 js/ci-windows-update later to maint).
* Object accesses in repositories with many alternate object store
have been optimized.
* "git log" has been optimized not to waste cycles to load ref
decoration data that may not be needed.
* Many "printf"-like helper functions we have have been annotated
with __attribute__() to catch placeholder/parameter
