1 Git 2.25.1 Release Notes
2 ========================
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.
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.
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.
20 * Complete an update to tutorial that encourages "git switch" over
21 "git checkout" that was done only half-way.
23 * Reduce unnecessary round-trip when running "ls-remote" over the
24 stateless RPC mechanism.

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.
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.
50 * Technical details of the bundle format has been documented.
52 * Unhelpful warning messages during documentation build have been
