| 1 | Git 2.25.1 Release Notes |
| 2 | ======================== |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Fixes 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 | |
| 55 | Also contains various documentation updates, code clean-ups and minor fixups. |
