1 Git 2.25 Release Notes
2 ======================
4 Updates since v2.24
5 -------------------
7 Backward compatibility notes
10 UI, Workflows & Features
12 * A tutorial on object enumeration has been added.
14 * The branch description ("git branch --edit-description") has been
15 used to fill the body of the cover letters by the format-patch
16 command; this has been enhanced so that the subject can also be
17 filled.
19 * "git rebase --preserve-merges" has been marked as deprecated; this
20 release stops advertising it in the "git rebase -h" output.
22 * The code to generate multi-pack index learned to show (or not to
23 show) progress indicators.
25 * "git apply --3way" learned to honor merge.conflictStyle
26 configuration variable, like merges would.
28 * The custom format for "git log --format=<format>" learned the l/L
29 placeholder that is similar to e/E that fills in the e-mail
30 address, but only the local part on the left side of '@'.
33 Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
35 * Debugging support for lazy cloning has been a bit improved.
37 * Move the definition of a set of bitmask constants from 0ctal
38 literal to (1U<<count) notation.
40 * Test updates to prepare for SHA-2 transition continues.
43 Fixes since v2.24
44 -----------------
46 * "rebase -i" ceased to run post-commit hook by mistake in an earlier
47 update, which has been corrected.
49 * "git notes copy $original" ought to copy the notes attached to the
50 original object to HEAD, but a mistaken tightening to command line
51 parameter validation made earlier disabled that feature by mistake.
53 * When all files from some subdirectory were renamed to the root
54 directory, the directory rename heuristics would fail to detect that
55 as a rename/merge of the subdirectory to the root directory, which has
56 been corrected.
58 * Code clean-up and a bugfix in the logic used to tell worktree local
59 and repository global refs apart.
60 (merge f45f88b2e4 sg/dir-trie-fixes later to maint).
62 * "git stash save" in a working tree that is sparsely checked out
63 mistakenly removed paths that are outside the area of interest.
64 (merge 4a58c3d7f7 js/update-index-ignore-removal-for-skip-worktree later to maint).
66 * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
67 (merge 80736d7c5e jc/am-show-current-patch-docfix later to maint).
68 (merge 8b656572ca sg/commit-graph-usage-fix later to maint).
