🚀 Enhancements and New Features datalad run now wraps command-created commits as merge commits, preserving linear first-parent history while keeping the full provenance record. This works across subdataset hierarchies: each dataset that gained intermediate commits gets its own merge, and merge need propagates bottom-up. A new datalad save --since (since=) parameter makes this independently usable outside of run. PR #7821 (by @yarikoptic) add submodule URL candidates by URL-rewrite to match parent protocol. PR #7606 (by @bpinsard) 🧪 Tests Mark test_gin_cloning as xfail (strict=False) on TimeoutError and IncompleteResultsError instead of flaky retries. gin.g-node.org has become too unreliable from CI runners (HTTP 403 from GitHub-hosted IPs, TCP timeouts, slow responses). When gin cooperates the test still reports XPASS; persistent gin failures no longer block CI. PR #7876 (by @yarikoptic)
