1Git 2.25.1 Release Notes
2========================
3
4Fixes since v2.25
5-----------------
6
7 * "git commit" gives output similar to "git status" when there is
8 nothing to commit, but without honoring the advise.statusHints
9 configuration variable, which has been corrected.
10
11 * has_object_file() said "no" given an object registered to the
12 system via pretend_object_file(), making it inconsistent with
13 read_object_file(), causing lazy fetch to attempt fetching an
14 empty tree from promisor remotes.
15
16 * The code that tries to skip over the entries for the paths in a
17 single directory using the cache-tree was not careful enough
18 against corrupt index file.
19
20 * Complete an update to tutorial that encourages "git switch" over
21 "git checkout" that was done only half-way.
22
23 * Reduce unnecessary round-trip when running "ls-remote" over the
24 stateless RPC mechanism.
25
26 * "git restore --staged" did not correctly update the cache-tree
27 structure, resulting in bogus trees to be written afterwards, which
28 has been corrected.
29
30 * The code recently added to move to the entry beyond the ones in the
31 same directory in the index in the sparse-cone mode did not count
32 the number of entries to skip over incorrectly, which has been
33 corrected.
34
35 * Work around test breakages caused by custom regex engine used in
36 libasan, when address sanitizer is used with more recent versions
37 of gcc and clang.
38
39 * "git fetch --refmap=" option has got a better documentation.
40
41 * Corner case bugs in "git clean" that stems from a (necessarily for
42 performance reasons) awkward calling convention in the directory
43 enumeration API has been corrected.
44
45 * "git grep --no-index" should not get affected by the contents of
46 the .gitmodules file but when "--recurse-submodules" is given or
47 the "submodule.recurse" variable is set, it did. Now these
48 settings are ignored in the "--no-index" mode.
49
50 * Technical details of the bundle format has been documented.
51
52 * Unhelpful warning messages during documentation build have been
53 squelched.
54
55Also contains various documentation updates, code clean-ups and minor fixups.
