Git 2.6.0 introduces several notable features aimed at improving the functionality and flexibility of the open-source version control system. Among these enhancements, users can now adjust the severity of fsck warnings, allowing them to ignore specific errors or set them to a less critical level, improving the management of minor data issues. This release also enhances the git status command during interactive rebase, providing more context on progress, and introduces custom date formatting in commit logs using the strftime function, allowing for personalized and localized date displays. Additionally, the --cc option in git log now automatically shows diffs for merge commits, eliminating the need to specify the -p option separately. These updates are part of a broader set of changes in Git v2.6, which includes contributions from 67 developers, highlighting the collaborative nature of this project under the longstanding maintenance of Junio C Hamano.
