Release highlights

The Apache and MIT license files are now distributed with all git-branchless sub-crates as required.
Rust v1.74 or later is required to build.
There are breaking changes to git hide and git sync; see below.
Broken support for native Windows/Powershell due to bad hook invocations was probably fixed.
- If this was affecting you, please comment on #370 to confirm or refute.
New merges() and branches() revset functions were introduced.

See also the release notes for scm-record v0.3.0.

(#1129) Added a --dry-run option to git submit to report what would be submitted without actually doing so.
(#1130) Added merges() revset function.
(#1130) The branches() revset function now accepts an optional text pattern argument to limit which branches are matched.
(#1150) The git record command now accepts -s/--stash to return to the previous commit immediately after committing.
(#1167) The commit message for a new commit can now be written/edited during git record --interactive.
(#1169) git record now accepts multiple --message arguments.
(#1184) An initial Github forge was implemented as git submit --forge github, but it's too buggy for general use.
(#1241) git smartlog now accepts --exact to skip rendering HEAD and the main branch.
(#1244) git submit now accepts multiple arguments/revsets.

BREAKING (#1128) Arguments/revsets passed to git sync are now resolved to their respective stacks.
- This allows git sync my-branch to work as expected, instead of needing to use git sync 'stack(my-branch)'. The behavior of git sync when called without arguments is not affected by this change. If you rely on the previous behavior, please use git move -x <commit(s)/revset> -d 'main()' instead.
BREAKING (#1152) Previously, git hide would not delete branches pointing to the hidden commits unless -D/--delete-branches was passed. Now, deleting branches is the default behavior. Pass --no-delete-branches to restore the old behavior.
BREAKING (#1292): The minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) is now 1.74.
(#1204) The default instructions for git reword are now wrapped to 72 characters.
(#1230) The icon for omitted commits in the smartlog was changed from ⊘ to ◌.

(#1071) The Apache and MIT licenses are now distributed with each constituent crate, not just the top-level git-branchless crate.
(#1072) The current branch is no longer detached during git amend when the current commit has descendants.
(#1073) Merge commits can now be amended with git amend.
(#1095) The event log is now shared between all worktrees. Before, commits that were made in one worktree wouldn't be visible in other worktrees, etc.
(#1095) git submit now runs in worktree that you invoked it in.
(#1095) git submit --forge phabricator no longer records spurious commits when arc diffing.
(#1127) Improved support for files with spaces in their name.
(#1267) The correct "path" variable is now used on Windows, which fixes some cases of git-branchless failing on native Windows.

Thanks to everyone who made this release happen!
