Git 5.0 Features: Generated Fields

A new feature in Git 5.0 is the addition of generated fields. These fields are computed in the database from other database fields, allowing for easy searching and manipulation without the need for query set tricks. For example, a virtual field can be created that combines a user's first name and last name, making it possible to search by full name.
