Git 2.25.1 Release Notes ======================== Fixes since v2.25 ----------------- * "git commit" gives output similar to "git status" when there is nothing to commit, but without honoring the advise.statusHints configuration variable, which has been corrected. * has_object_file() said "no" given an object registered to the system via pretend_object_file(), making it inconsistent with read_object_file(), causing lazy fetch to attempt fetching an empty tree from promisor remotes. * The code that tries to skip over the entries for the paths in a single directory using the cache-tree was not careful enough against corrupt index file. * Complete an update to tutorial that encourages "git switch" over "git checkout" that was done only half-way. * Reduce unnecessary round-trip when running "ls-remote" over the stateless RPC mechanism. * "git restore --staged" did not correctly update the cache-tree structure, resulting in bogus trees to be written afterwards, which has been corrected. * The code recently added to move to the entry beyond the ones in the same directory in the index in the sparse-cone mode did not count the number of entries to skip over incorrectly, which has been corrected. * Work around test breakages caused by custom regex engine used in libasan, when address sanitizer is used with more recent versions of gcc and clang. * "git fetch --refmap=" option has got a better documentation. * Corner case bugs in "git clean" that stems from a (necessarily for performance reasons) awkward calling convention in the directory enumeration API has been corrected. * "git grep --no-index" should not get affected by the contents of the .gitmodules file but when "--recurse-submodules" is given or the "submodule.recurse" variable is set, it did. Now these settings are ignored in the "--no-index" mode. * Technical details of the bundle format has been documented. * Unhelpful warning messages during documentation build have been squelched. Also contains various documentation updates, code clean-ups and minor fixups.
