Version control system #gameoftrees 0.73 has been released for #OpenBSD, and for other systems as a -portable version maintained by @thomasadam

3️⃣​got patch now uses 3-way merges instead of the simpler search/replace algorithm, provided the base version of modified files can be determined from meta-data in the patch file, and when the corresponding blob object exists in the repository. When a change cannot be applied cleanly, 3-way merges create conflict markers in the patched target file, rather than creating separate reject files on disk. And patches with mangled whitespace are now handled more smoothly. Thanks to @op for keeping to improve got patch!

​ Support for signing tag objects with SSH keys was added during the OpenBSD r2k22 hackathon by @jrick. The 'got tag' command can create and verify SSH signatures, in a way that is compatible with signed tag objects created by Git.

​ The tog repository browser has become more flexible and user-friendly, with features such as count modifiers for movement key bindings, space bar scrolling down consistently in all views, support for horizontal split screens in addition to the default vertical split, faster diff and blame by using the Myers algorithm by default instead of Patience, and support for switching the diff algorithm between Myers and Patience diff at run-time. Many thanks to Mark Jamsek who contributed some of these new features.

😈​ In the -portable version and the FreeBSD port, libexec helper programs now use capsicum to restrict their own abilities. This is similar to the existing support for landlock on Linux (which is used where supported and enabled).

🎨​ Coloring of commits during creation of pack files is now faster, provided a large amount of commit history can be found in a single pack file (which should be the case for well-maintained Git repositories).

I wrote a tool to statically analyze spl(9) kernel locking in #OpenBSD. It even found some bugs.
