+ [Creepy crawlies](https://people.kernel.org/monsieuricon/creepy-crawlies)

by Konstantin Ryabitsev on his blog.

This post talks about the fact that "AI crawlers" burn more CPU cycles

on git.kernel.org than serving legitimate cgit traffic and git clones,

with numbers.

by Charlotte Som.

The idea is to avoid having to deal with ambient scraper load and running out of disk space.

+ [Manganin](https://codeberg.org/Loweg/manganin) is a code forge with

community trust management based on [vouch trees](https://github.com/mitchellh/vouch/),

local-first issue tracking (issues are stored in git), and

termbox-based TUI. Demo instance at <https://manganin.dev/>

by Nathan Sobo on Zed IDE blog.

[Delta](https://delta.dev/) is a multiplayer environment

for coding with agents and reviewing what they build.<br>

Delta is built on [DeltaDB](https://zed.dev/blog/introducing-deltadb),

which extends Git's content-based versioning with incremental versions based on _deltas_

(recording edits between commits alongside messages from humans and agents).

DeltaDB was first mentioned in [Git Rev News Edition #136](https://git.github.io/rev_news/2026/06/30/edition-136/).

+ **Note** that there exist [delta](https://dandavison.github.io/delta/)

syntax-highlighting pager for git, diff, and grep output

(first mentioned in [Git Rev News Edition #86](https://git.github.io/rev_news/2022/04/30/edition-86/))

and that there other Git tools with the same name.

+ [Git Reattribute](https://github.com/drk1rd/git-reattribute) is a small,

cross-platform CLI for replacing one Git identity with another

across a repository's history, safely - without requiring you to

hand-write a [`git filter-repo`](https://github.com/newren/git-filter-repo) invocation.

Also includes [guard](https://github.com/drk1rd/git-reattribute#guard-prevent-denied-identities-before-they-land),

a prevention companion that blocks a denied identity in CI or a local hook

before it ever lands. **This tool rewrites Git history.**

+ [Vendetect](https://github.com/trailofbits/vendetect) is a command-line tool

for automatically detecting vendored and copy/pasted code between repositories.

It uses similarity detection algorithms to compare code files

and highlight matching sections.

Written in Python, under AGPL-3.0 license.

+ [Foremerge](https://github.com/naw103/foremerge) is the open-source

coordination protocol for coding agents, built above Git;

Agents keep isolated worktrees while sharing intent,

semantic claims, dependencies, provisional ChangeSets,

decisions, validation, and provenance.

The idea is to catch intent conflicts before code conflicts.

Written in Rust, under Apache 2.0 license.

Looks like [GitLens](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=eamodio.gitlens),

but for agents.

+ Compare [Copy-on-write git worktrees](https://commaok.xyz/post/git-cow-worktrees/)

by Josh Bleecher Snyder, about creating [`git-cow-worktree`](https://github.com/josharian/git-cow-worktree),

a drop-in replacement for `git worktree add` that uses copy-on-write for the worktrees,

mentioned in [Git Rev News Edition #135](https://git.github.io/rev_news/2026/05/31/edition-135/).

+ The [Game of Trees Hub](https://gothub.org/) (GotHub),

a transparently funded Git repository hosting service,

with infrastructure on OpenBSD and the [Game of Trees (GoT)](https://gameoftrees.org/) VCS,

which was first mentioned in [Git Rev News Edition #131](https://git.github.io/rev_news/2026/01/31/edition-131/),

got support for [Mailing Lists](https://gothub.org/lists.html).

+ [Pushin.eu](https://pushin.eu/) (in invite-only beta) and

[CodeFloe](https://codefloe.com/) (public Git service running on Forgejo with free tier)

are Git hosting sites advocating that theu are hosted in Europe, under EU law.<br>

The [previous edition](https://git.github.io/rev_news/2026/08/31/edition-138/)

mentioned another forge hosted in Europe: [Gitoro](https://gitoro.com/).
