    The submitted story is an article. Some (including myself) find the prose and explanatory style more approachable than the release notes. Adding a link to the release notes is helpful. The "Because git != GitHub" is unnecessary.

    That's an unofficial mirror of the release notes. Here's an official one: https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/Documentation/RelNotes/2.21.0.txt https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/Documentation/RelNote...

  Detecting files that differ only in case being cloned onto a case-insensitive file system is a great feature. We recently ran into an issue when using the Nix build tool, which caches inputs based on a SHA hash, where it generated different hashes between Linux (w/ a case sensitive file system) and Mac (with a case insensitive one) machines. Tracking that one down was pretty tricky. I didn't even consider that something at the Git level could be done to improve the situation!
