Hi everyone,

A draft of a new Git Rev News edition is available here:

  https://github.com/git/git.github.io/blob/master/rev_news/drafts/edition-138.md

Everyone is welcome to contribute in any section either by editing the above page on GitHub and sending a pull request, or by commenting on this GitHub issue:

  https://github.com/git/git.github.io/issues/856

You can also reply to this email.

In general all kinds of contributions, for example proofreading, suggestions for articles or links, help on the issues in GitHub, volunteering for being interviewed and so on, are very much appreciated.

I tried to Cc everyone who appears in this edition, but maybe I missed some people, sorry about that.

Jakub, Markus, Kaartic and I plan to publish this edition early on Wednesday September 2nd, 2026.

Thanks, Christian.

FWIW, the following post discussing benchmarks around topics related to this series (I think?) and the release of v2.55.0 was shared in Discord:

May be of interest.

Thanks for the link, it's indeed interesting.

The article is already quite long though, and in the "Reviews" articles I prefer to focus on what happens on the mailing list, so I will not add it to the article.
