What’s up with Git’s peculiar usage of ‘learned’ in their release notes? For example:

> Git learned the ability to execute a “partial” clone...

> ..In Git 2.25, --format learned the verb l/L...

I’ve never run across another piece of software that talked about itself this way. I’ve tried to research it in the past, to see if it’s part of some software engineering philosophy, but have always come up short.

Anyone have any insight?
