Git LFS: ძველი ვერსიები და ყველა ვერსია

This release is a feature release which adds support for
zstd-compressed object downloads and introduces several new options,
including the ability to fetch Git LFS objects for a list of references
piped to standard input and the ability to limit how long Git LFS
will wait when instructed by a server to retry an HTTP request.
Git LFS now determines the case sensitivity of filesystems from the
core.ignoreCase Git configuration option, respects global and
system-wide Git attribute files when migrating repositories, and
tries the default Git LFS HTTP URL derived from an SSH URL when
HTTP authentication via SSH is not available.
This Git LFS release improves SSH session reuse, parses invalid
custom transfer adapter configurations and invalid Git attribute
patterns without crashing, handles file deletion conflicts on Windows
in the same manner as Git, resolves remote-tracking branches for
downloads correctly, avoids re-reading working tree files during
clean filter operations since the files may be in an inconsistent
state, and terminates lengthy or endless HTTP authentication sequences
after a limited number of requests.
Note that we now provide official packages and support for versions
of Linux distributions based on Debian 13 ("trixie"). We also now
provide a source code package with all of our Go module dependencies
in a vendor directory.
This release is built using Go v1.27 and therefore requires macOS
version 13 (Ventura) or later on macOS systems.
