No commits in this period.
Day 3 Sun 2026.10.18
- Object transfers and checkout file writes are faster. Landing a change on a branch now batches its tree reads and writes.
- It now rejects requests to copy a blob by id when the caller cannot read it.
- A design document for a Git gateway was added. The gateway would let Git clients read Scion history.
- The daemon fills its cache faster, and its metrics can now be queried from outside.
- History and merge-base queries skip first-parent spans that contain no merge.
