Jujutsu v0.45.0 release notes

jj is a Git-compatible version control system that is both simple and powerful. See the installation instructions to get started.

A new jj converge command was added to help automatically resolve divergent commits by combining them appropriately.

jj config {edit,set,unset} --user now targets the first loaded user configuration file (e.g. ~/.config/jj/config.toml or the first file in conf.d/) instead of prompting interactively when multiple files exist. Use --file <PATH> to target a specific config file.
jj git import in non-colocated repositories no longer imports commits from a detached Git HEAD branch.

None

The new jj converge command attempts to automatically resolve divergence by creating a new commit that replaces the divergent commits. It applies heuristics to try to automatically come up with a good solution, and falls back to prompting the user if the heuristics are inconclusive. It can also run in non-interactive mode, which aborts if prompting would be needed.
jj bisect will now mention when it cannot unambiguously find the first bad revision due to skips in evaluation.
Git HEAD state is now tracked per worktree internally. This prepares colocated repositories for support of multiple Git worktrees, where each jj workspace can have its own Git HEAD. Existing repositories are migrated automatically.
jj config {edit,set,unset} now support a --file <PATH> option to target a specific configuration file (such as files inside a conf.d/ directory or loaded via --config-file). This allows precise file targeting and avoids interactive prompts when multiple config files exist.

The default immutable_heads() set now includes untracked_remote_tags().
jj arrange now scrolls the viewport to keep the selected commit visible when the commit stack is taller than the terminal. #9033.
The default pager flags now include -K (--quit-on-intr), so pressing Ctrl+C in less exits cleanly instead of leaving the terminal in a corrupted state (raw mode, visible escape sequences, broken input).
A side of a conflict whose contents end with a carriage return no longer loses that byte when the materialized conflict is parsed back, such as when a conflicted file is snapshotted from the working copy. #9868
In colocated workspaces, jj workspace update-stale now correctly resets the Git HEAD to the parent of the fresh working-copy commit. #9936
jj run no longer runs against the remaining revisions if a process exits with a nonzero exit code.
Fixed crash in jj log involving hidden revisions and the log-graph-prioritize revset. #9975
In colocated repos, an external git add after a jj command no longer produces a tree with duplicate entries (git fsck: duplicateEntries). jj was leaving a stale cache-tree behind in .git/index. Repositories already corrupted this way are not repaired by the fix. #9711 #8884

Thanks to the people who made this release happen!
