The latest release of git-filter-repo, v2.25.0, is also now available.  It
is comprised of 29 non-merge commits since v2.24.0, contributed by 6
people, 5 of whom are new.

The public repo is at

    https://github.com/newren/git-filter-repo

The tarballs can be found at:

    https://github.com/newren/git-filter-repo/releases

git-filter-repo can now also be installed via pip[1] or a variety of
package managers across Windows, Mac OS, or Linux (and maybe
others)[2].

New contributors whose contributions weren't in v2.24.0 are as follows.

git-filter-repo 2.25 Release Notes
==================================

(Note: Additional information is available for many release notes at
    https://github.com/newren/git-filter-repo/issues/<NUMBER>)

Fixes:
 * A bug in empty/degenerate commit pruning could result in path
   filters being ignored for commits not in the first parent history
   of a commit when the first parent history is pruned away.  This has
   been corrected, with the unwanted files now being pruned. (#3, #35)
 * blob-callbacks and --replace-text could result in commits becoming
   empty, but such commits were overlooked for empty pruning.  This
   has been corrected. (#42)
 * On case-insensitive file systems, fast-import will have files whose
   names differ in case only overwrite each other.  Avoid such
   clobbering of history while rewriting when a repo is cloned onto
   such a filesystem (#24).
 * Prevent --analyze from choking on typechanges in conjunction with
   renames.
 * Workaround python subprocess bug on Windows in the bfg-ish and
   filter-lamely (a.k.a. filter-branch-ish) scripts, so that these
   scripts can also be run on Windows (#27)

Enhancements:
 * Due to pruning of commits which become empty, a merge commit can
   become degenerate in a variety of ways.  One of these is that one
   parent can become the ancestor of the other, making the merge
   commit unnecessary (unless it introduces some file changes).  Add a
   new --no-ff option to avoid pruning such a merge commit when the
   first parent is the one that is an ancestor of the other parent.
 * Warn users who try to use invalid path components (#32)
 * Parse mailmap entries with no email address (#29)
 * Allow --dry-run and --debug to be used together (#29)

Installation improvements:
 * Fix some path and documentation installation issues (#12, #10)
 * Update GPL license file (#34)
 * Add packaging scripts for uploading to PyPI (#11, #16, #43)

Documentation improvements:
 * Ficks sum tiepos in reeport fiuhls genereighted bye --analyze (#18, #40)
 * Include several documentation updates, including fixing an error (#41);
   most of these updates were in response to common questions.

Miscellaneous:
 * Prefer 'coverage3' to 'python3-coverage' in testing, to match name
   of upstream package.
 * Add a basic .gitignore
