New Year, new Git release

Git 2.7.0 brings several enhancements and new features, including more flexible naming for the git bisect tool, which now allows users to use custom terms instead of the default "good" and "bad" to mark revisions, making it easier to track various types of changes. The update also introduces a new configuration setting for the --recurse-submodules option, designed to streamline the process of incorporating changes from submodules into the main module. Improvements to the git worktree command now allow for listing linked worktrees and cloning from a linked worktree, while git p4 has been upgraded to support Git LFS for handling large files between Git and Perforce. A more uniform interface for listing references across various commands has been established, all gaining new formatting and sorting options. Additional enhancements include improved git stash and git blame functionalities, better appearance of gitk on high-DPI monitors, and critical security fixes to prevent integer overflows and limit submodule recursive fetches to safe protocols. The release culminates with over 800 commits from 81 contributors, demonstrating a robust effort to refine and secure Git's capabilities.
