What's new in Git 2.47.0?

What this post added

This post details several contributions to Git 2.47.0, including new global configuration options (`init.defaultRefFormat`, `init.defaultObjectFormat`) for easier adoption of reftables and SHA-256 object formats, the addition of the `git refs verify` subcommand for repository consistency checks, fixes for `git-maintenance(1)` to improve its `--auto` behavior and introduce a heuristic for reference packing in the 'files' backend, and ongoing code refactoring efforts to reduce memory leaks and the use of global variables like `the_repository`.
