No reason we cannot have Git 2.100. :) I agree completely, no need signal that 3.0 is coming until it comes. Once it's out, not a soul will question what number the release just before had. I have a list of breaking changes that I would like to introduce, I was hoping they could be considered before 3.0 is out -- otherwise I fear I have to wait another 10 years for 4.0, I would like to change the default values of these config values: # Autostash by default checkout.autostash=true rebase.autostash=true # User friendlier branch sorting branch.sort=-committerdate tag.sort=-version:refname # Better diffing diff.algorithm=histogram diff.colormoved=zebra diff.compactionheuristic=true # Compare branches on when push/upstream are different status.comparebranches=@{upstream} @{push} It seemed a bit presumptuous to submit these as a patch, but maybe I should to open the formal discussion?
