Three months after its previous 2.51 release, Git, a distributed version control system and cornerstone in software development, helping developers efficiently manage changes in their code across projects, has just released its new 2.52 version.

One of the most notable additions is a new high-performance method for tree-level blame analysis. Instead of repeatedly walking the same commits for every file in a directory, the new approach computes last-modified information across entire trees in a fraction of the time. This significantly accelerates directory-wide history queries, especially in large repositories.
