···1+Git 2.51.2 Release Notes
2+========================
3+4+In addition to fixes for an unfortunate regression introduced in Git
5+2.51.1 that caused "git diff --quiet -w" to be not so quiet when there
6+are additions, deletions and conflicts, this maintenance release merges
7+more fixes/improvements that have landed on the master front, primarily
8+to make the CI part of the system a bit more robust.
9+10+11+Fixes since Git 2.51.1
12+----------------------
13+14+ * Recently we attempted to improve "git diff -w --quiet" and friends
15+ to handle cases where patch output would be suppressed, but it
16+ introduced a bug that emits unnecessary output, which has been
17+ corrected.
18+19+ * The code to squelch output from "git diff -w --name-status"
20+ etc. for paths that "git diff -w -p" would have stayed silent
21+ leaked output from dry-run patch generation, which has been
22+ corrected.
23+24+ * Windows "real-time monitoring" interferes with the execution of
25+ tests and affects negatively in both correctness and performance,
26+ which has been disabled in Gitlab CI.
27+28+ * An earlier addition to "git diff --no-index A B" to limit the
29+ output with pathspec after the two directories misbehaved when
30+ these directories were given with a trailing slash, which has been
31+ corrected.
32+33+ * The "--short" option of "git status" that meant output for humans
34+ and "-z" option to show NUL delimited output format did not mix
35+ well, and colored some but not all things. The command has been
36+ updated to color all elements consistently in such a case.
37+38+ * Unicode width table update.
39+40+ * Recent OpenSSH creates the Unix domain socket to communicate with
41+ ssh-agent under $HOME instead of /tmp, which causes our test to
42+ fail doe to overly long pathname in our test environment, which has
43+ been worked around by using "ssh-agent -T".
44+45+Also contains various documentation updates, code cleanups and minor fixups.
