v0.12.0

[martinvonz]

Breaking changes

• The remote_branches() revset no longer includes branches exported to the Git
  repository (so called Git-tracking branches.)

• jj branch set no longer creates a new branch. Use jj branch create
  instead.

• jj init --git in an existing Git repository now errors and exits rather than
  creating a second Git store.

New features

• jj workspace add can now take multiple --revision arguments, which will
  create a new workspace with its working-copy commit on top of all the parents,
  as if you had run jj new r1 r2 r3 ....

• You can now set git.abandon-unreachable-commits = false to disable the
  usual behavior where commits that became unreachable in the Git repo are
  abandoned (#2504).

• jj new gained a --no-edit option to prevent editing the newly created
  commit. For example, jj new a b --no-edit -m Merge creates a merge commit
  without affecting the working copy.

• jj rebase now takes the flag --skip-empty, which doesn't copy over commits
  that would become empty after a rebase.

• There is a new jj util gc command for cleaning up the repository storage.
  For now, it simply runs git gc on the backing Git repo (when using the Git
  backend).

Fixed bugs

• Fixed another file conflict resolution issue where jj status would disagree
  with the actual file content.
  #2654
