Update to latest version 2.4.0. In the interest of brevity, this list includes bugs and features, but not miscellaneous changes, or items not relevant to Fedora. Please see the upstream changelog for full details.

This release introduces a rewrite of the underlying file matching engine, expands the API to include relevant refspecs for individual requests, standardizes the progress output among commands, and more.

Please note: in the next MAJOR release (v3.0.0) the semantic meaning behind --include and --exclude flags will change. As the details of exactly which existing patterns will no longer function as previously are known, we will indicate them here. Any --include or --exclude patterns used in v2.3.0 or earlier are expected to work as previously in this release.

Features

• Support wildmatch-compliant options in --include, --exclude
• Expand the specification to include relevant refspecs
• Standardize progress meter output and implementation
• Teach new flags, functionality to git lfs ls-files
• Add new flags, functionality to git lfs migrate
• New functionality in package lfsapi
• Code cleanup in git.Config, package localstorage
