Microsoft introduced GVFS in February of this year, and it virtualizes the file system beneath developers’ repositories. In order to help with the issues of working with large repositories, Atlassian added Git Virtual File System (GVFS) support so developers can utilize SourceTree with Git repositories. Other developers voiced concerns about the performance in SourceTree on Windows, so Atlassian added a hybrid LibGit2 handler under the hood for most git operations, which improved performance by almost two times, said the company in a blog post. Atlassian added improved workflow for common operations, as well as increased performance by refactoring the bookmarks sidebar.

Atlassian changed the user experience so it has a “modern look and feel,” plus it overhauled tabs to improve developer’s repository browser experience. One major change developers will see in SourceTree is its new design. It comes with a new UI, improved design, faster performance, and Microsoft Git Virtual File System support. After reviewing developer feedback, Atlassian announced SourceTree for Windows 2.0 this week. Interacting with Git and Mercurial repositories just got easier for Windows developers.
