| 1 | Git 2.25.2 Release Notes |
| 2 | ======================== |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Fixes since v2.25.1 |
| 5 | ------------------- |
| 6 | |
| 7 | * Minor bugfixes to "git add -i" that has recently been rewritten in C. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | * An earlier update to show the location of working tree in the error |
| 10 | message did not consider the possibility that a git command may be |
| 11 | run in a bare repository, which has been corrected. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | * The "--recurse-submodules" option of various subcommands did not |
| 14 | work well when run in an alternate worktree, which has been |
| 15 | corrected. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | * Running "git rm" on a submodule failed unnecessarily when |
| 18 | .gitmodules is only cache-dirty, which has been corrected. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | * "git rebase -i" identifies existing commits in its todo file with |
| 21 | their abbreviated object name, which could become ambigous as it |
| 22 | goes to create new commits, and has a mechanism to avoid ambiguity |
| 23 | in the main part of its execution. A few other cases however were |
| 24 | not covered by the protection against ambiguity, which has been |
| 25 | corrected. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | * The index-pack code now diagnoses a bad input packstream that |
| 28 | records the same object twice when it is used as delta base; the |
| 29 | code used to declare a software bug when encountering such an |
| 30 | input, but it is an input error. |
| 31 | |
| 32 | * The code to automatically shrink the fan-out in the notes tree had |
| 33 | an off-by-one bug, which has been killed. |
| 34 | |
| 35 | * "git check-ignore" did not work when the given path is explicitly |
| 36 | marked as not ignored with a negative entry in the .gitignore file. |
| 37 | |
| 38 | * The merge-recursive machinery failed to refresh the cache entry for |
| 39 | a merge result in a couple of places, resulting in an unnecessary |
| 40 | merge failure, which has been fixed. |
| 41 | |
| 42 | * Fix for a bug revealed by a recent change to make the protocol v2 |
| 43 | the default. |
| 44 | |
| 45 | * "git merge signed-tag" while lacking the public key started to say |
| 46 | "No signature", which was utterly wrong. This regression has been |
| 47 | reverted. |
| 48 | |
| 49 | * MinGW's poll() emulation has been improved. |
| 50 | |
| 51 | * "git show" and others gave an object name in raw format in its |
| 52 | error output, which has been corrected to give it in hex. |
| 53 | |
| 54 | * Both "git ls-remote -h" and "git grep -h" give short usage help, |
| 55 | like any other Git subcommand, but it is not unreasonable to expect |
| 56 | that the former would behave the same as "git ls-remote --head" |
| 57 | (there is no other sensible behaviour for the latter). The |
| 58 | documentation has been updated in an attempt to clarify this. |
| 59 | |
| 60 | Also contains various documentation updates, code clean-ups and minor fixups. |
