2.36.1

Git v2.36.1 Release Notes =========================

Fixes since v2.36 -----------------

• "git submodule update" without pathspec should silently skip an uninitialized submodule, but it started to become noisy by mistake.

• "diff-tree --stdin" has been broken for about a year, but 2.36 release broke it even worse by breaking running the command with <pathspec>, which in turn broke "gitk" and got noticed. This has been corrected by aligning its behaviour to that of "log".

• Regression fix for 2.36 where "git name-rev" started to sometimes reference strings after they are freed.

• "git show <commit1> <commit2>… — <pathspec>" lost the pathspec when showing the second and subsequent commits, which has been corrected.

• "git fast-export — <pathspec>" lost the pathspec when showing the second and subsequent commits, which has been corrected.

• "git format-patch <args> — <pathspec>" lost the pathspec when showing the second and subsequent commits, which has been corrected.

• Get rid of a bogus and over-eager coccinelle rule.

• Correct choices of C compilers used in various CI jobs.

Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
