No LLM Code in Dependencies
The diff of the linked commit in git is completely trivial, clearly it just got tagged because of the signoff in the commit message: https://github.com/git/git/commit/d7971544fe17378f44f4998301...
I would be surprised if there is no LLM-assisted code in there prior to this commit, this is just the first where the author chose to disclose it.

Stop Using Conventional Commits
https://github.com/git/git/commit/b809304101
As you can see, without knowing much of the specifics of the code, we can get an idea why this change was made the way it was. There is a certain art to writing short and concise commit messages, but the same is true for code itself. Some, but comparably very little, practice is required.

Git: Introduce Rust and announce that it will become mandatorty
Is there a standard that all software must be developed in ANSI C that I missed, or something? The git developers are saying - we want to use Rust because we think it will save us development effort. NonStop people are saying we can't run this on our platform. It seems to me someone at git made the calculus: the amount that NonStop is contributing is less than what we save going to Rust. Unless NonStop has a support contract with git developers that they would be violating, it seems to me the NonStop people want to have their cake and eat it too.
According to git docs they seem to try to make a best effort to stick to POSIX but without any strong guarantees, which this change seems to be entirely in line with: https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/Documentation/CodingG...

Review ★★★★★ 10/10
My development process is sometimes really sloppy. I rely so heavily on git to keep me on track and it does a great job.
