I suspect that this change was motivated by our off-list correspondence, where I struggled to phrase a section about this in GitHub's release highlights. I think that I'm mostly reflecting what Elijah has already said himself in another thread, but this change makes sense to me. I think that we have effectively deprecated 'git-filter-branch'. If we're printing warnings when it is called, and recommended that users refer to 'git-filter-repo' instead, I think that we might as well call it deprecated. But, if that phrase is too heavy-handed for 2.24, I think that this patch makes a lot of sense. It's--as Elijah notes--confusing to say that we recommend against using a tool but haven't 'officially' deprecated it. This works nicely around that issue by not using the phrase 'deprecated' at all, and instead being clear about what the state of 'git filter-branch' is. > UI, Workflows & Features > > -- > gitgitgadget Looks good to me.
