Git 2.25 Release Notes
======================
 
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=<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 '@'.
 
 
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<<count) notation.
 
 * Test updates to prepare for SHA-2 transition continues.
 
 
Fixes since v2.24
-----------------
 
 * "rebase -i" ceased to run post-commit hook by mistake in an earlier
   update, which has been corrected.
 
 * "git notes copy $original" ought to copy the notes attached to the
   original object to HEAD, but a mistaken tightening to command line
   parameter validation made earlier disabled that feature by mistake.
 
 * When all files from some subdirectory were renamed to the root
   directory, the directory rename heuristics would fail to detect that
   as a rename/merge of the subdirectory to the root directory, which has
   been corrected.
 
 * Code clean-up and a bugfix in the logic used to tell worktree local
   and repository global refs apart.
   (merge f45f88b2e4 sg/dir-trie-fixes later to maint).
 
 * "git stash save" in a working tree that is sparsely checked out
   mistakenly removed paths that are outside the area of interest.
   (merge 4a58c3d7f7 js/update-index-ignore-removal-for-skip-worktree later to maint).
 
 * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
   (merge 80736d7c5e jc/am-show-current-patch-docfix later to maint).
   (merge 8b656572ca sg/commit-graph-usage-fix later to maint).
