Git 2.25 Release Notes (draft)
==============================

Updates since v2.24
-------------------

Backward compatibility notes


UI, Workflows & Features

* A tutorial on object enumeration has been added.

* The branch description ("git branch --edit-description") has been
used to fill the body of the cover letters by the format-patch
command; this has been enhanced so that the subject can also be
filled.

* "git rebase --preserve-merges" has been marked as deprecated; this
release stops advertising it in the "git rebase -h" output.

* The code to generate multi-pack index learned to show (or not to
show) progress indicators.

* "git apply --3way" learned to honor merge.conflictStyle
configuration variable, like merges would.

* The custom format for "git log --format=" learned the l/L
placeholder that is similar to e/E that fills in the e-mail
address, but only the local part on the left side of '@'.

* Documentation pages for "git shortlog" now list commit limiting
options explicitly.

* The patterns to detect function boundary for Elixir language has
been added.

* The completion script (in contrib/) learned that the "--onto"
option of "git rebase" can take its argument as the value of the
option.

* The userdiff machinery has been taught that "async def" is another
way to begin a "function" in Python.

* "git range-diff" learned to take the "--notes=" and the
"--no-notes" options to control the commit notes included in the
log message that gets compared.

* "git rev-parse --show-toplevel" run outside of any working tree did
not error out, which has been corrected.

* A few commands learned to take the pathspec from the standard input
or a named file, instead of taking it as the command line
arguments, with the "--pathspec-from-file" option.

* "git rebase -i" learned a few options that are known by "git
rebase" proper.

* "git submodule" learned a subcommand "set-url".

* "git log" family learned "--pretty=reference" that gives the name
of a commit in the format that is often used to refer to it in log
messages.

* The interaction between "git clone --recurse-submodules" and
alternate object store was ill-designed. The documentation and
code have been taught to make more clear recommendations when the
users see failures.

* Management of sparsely checked-out working tree has gained a
dedicated "sparse-checkout" command.


Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.

* Debugging support for lazy cloning has been a bit improved.

* Move the definition of a set of bitmask constants from 0ctal
literal to (1U versus .
