git bisect is now fully implemented in C as a native builtin. This is the result of years of effort from many Git contributors, including a large handful of Google Summer of Code students. This means that git bisect is faster, more reliable, and more consistent with other Git commands. git rebase has a new option –rebase-merges that preserves the topology of merge commits when rebasing. This is useful for scenarios where you want to rebase a branch that contains merges without flattening them. You can also use –rebase-merges=no-rebase-cousins to skip rebasing commits that are not ancestors of the tip of the branch. git stash has a new option –pathspec-from-file that allows you to specify a file that contains a list of paths to stash. This is handy for scripting or when you have a long or complex list of paths to stash. You can also use –pathspec-file-nul to separate the paths by NUL characters instead of newlines. git log and other commands that show commit history have a new option –invert-grep that reverses the sense of a grep pattern. This is useful for filtering out commits that match a certain pattern, such as commits that contain a specific keyword or author. git branch and git tag have a new option –sort-by-date that sorts the output by the date of the last commit on each ref. This is helpful for finding the most recent branches or tags in a large repository. These are just some of the highlights from Git 2.40.
