Git v2.29 がリリースされた

Git 2.29 includes experimental support for writing your repository’s objects using a SHA-256 hash of their contents, instead of using SHA-1.

In future releases, Git will support interoperating between repositories with different object formats by computing both a SHA-1 and SHA-256 hash of each object it writes, and storing a translation table between them. This will eventually allow repositories that store their objects using SHA-256 to interact with (sufficiently up-to-date) SHA-1 clients, and vice-versa. It will also allow converted SHA-256 repositories to have their references to older SHA-1 commits still function as normal (e.g., if I write a commit whose message references an earlier commit by its SHA-1 name, then Git will still be able to follow that reference even after the repository is converted to use SHA-256 by consulting the translation table).

This version upgrades existing users of Git Credential Manager for Windows (which was just deprecated) to Git Credential Manager Core (“GCM Core”, which is the designated successor of the former). This is necessary because GitHub deprecated password-based authentication and intends to remove support for it soon, and GCM Core is prepared for this change..
