Game of Trees 0.84 released

Contributed by rueda on from the again-and-again-and dept.

Version 0.84 of Game of Trees has been released (and the port updated).

Stefan Sperling had some particular changes of note on the FediVerse announcement excerpted (sans special emoji unique to bsd.network) here:

"A new #gameoftrees release (0.84) is out. This release ships a nice collection of small new features and bug fixes.

gotd should no longer randomly exit and crash. Hopefully.

The new histedit -d command makes it trivial to drop all commits from a branch. Because this will keep a backup of the previous branch state around this new command is a bit safer than deleting a branch and re-creating it.

🚫​ You can now commit files even while they contain conflict markers. Even though you should never actually do this. At least not without consulting the Perl developers first (and they don't commit such files anymore, either).

If a remote repository changes its HEAD your local HEAD in refs/remotes/ will now be changed as well when fetching.

Some invisible work towards SHA256 object ID support has happened. This should eventually amount to great consequences but only once a lot more such work gets done."

However, the complete release notes are provided below:
