git-filter-repo 2.45 Release Notes
==================================
* Fixes:
* Work with git >= 2.43 (instead of immediately aborting with an error)
* Backward compatibility
* Do not create new replace references by default. Use the --replace-refs
option to change this, if wanted.
* Usability:
* Throw an error when users pass `--paths` instead of letting python
autocomplete to `--paths-from-file` (since users usually intended
to mean `--path`)
* Apply commit ID updates after the --message-callback
* Documentation:
* Update link to GitHub docs on purging data
* Miscellaneous:
* Add a --date-order option
* Cleanup callback scope
* Contrib scripts:
* [convert-svnexternals] fix parsing of wrongly transformed SVN revisions
* [lint-history] fix --refs option
* [clean-ignore] handle .gitignore exclusions
* [clean-ignore] do not require additional arguments to be passed
* [clean-ignore] support utf-8 filenames found in .gitignore files
