What's new in Git 2.55.0?

Git 2.55.0 introduces several notable features and improvements, including contributions from the Git team at GitLab. Key updates include the addition of the git-history(1) fixup command, which simplifies the process of amending changes into an existing commit by automatically rebasing related branches. The fsmonitor daemon now supports GNU/Linux, using inotify(7) to enhance git-status(1) performance in large repositories. Git-push(1) can now push to remote groups, a feature previously limited to git-fetch(1). A new option for limiting the git log --graph lane width improves readability by truncating excessive lanes with a tilde mark. Rust continues to evolve in the Git codebase, with the Rust compiler now required unless explicitly disabled, reflecting an ongoing community effort to integrate Rust into Git's infrastructure. Additionally, git-grep(1) and git-cherry(1) commands benefit from improved performance through batched blob downloads in partial clones.
