Git 2.49 is out today as the latest feature update for this widely-used distributed version control system. Git 2.49 delivers faster packing via name-hash v2, a new "git backfill" tool to address any missing historical blobs, "git clone" learned to make a shallow clone for a single commit that is not necessarily at the tip of any branch, lazy-loading missing files in a blobless clone, zlib-ng support preparations, and a foreign language interface for Rust has been added to the codebase. Over on the GitHub blog are also more details on the Git 2.49 changes.
