Git 2.19.0 released

The Git 2.19.0 release is out. Significant changes include a new "range diff" capability, directory rename detection, and more; see this GitHub blog entry for more information. "We can use git diff to show the difference between the two end states, but that doesn’t provide information about the individual commits. And if the base on which the commits were built has changed, the resulting state might be quite different, even if the changes in the commits are largely the same. Git 2.19 introduces git range-diff, a tool for comparing two sequences of commits, including changes to their order, commit messages, and the actual content changes they introduce."
