ignored") did not work well with "--name-only" and friends.
* ly/diff-name-only-with-diff-from-content:
diff: ensure consistent diff behavior with ignore options
"git diff --no-index" run inside a subdirectory under control of a

"git push" had a code path that led to BUG() but it should have

Ubuntu 25.10 has been released. One prominent change in this version of
Ubuntu is the switch to some Rust-based utilities. Part of this switch
is also that Ubuntu now defaults to sudo-rs(1).
Unfortunately, this breaks our CI because sudo-rs(1) does not support
the `--preserve-env` flag. Let's revert back to the C-based sudo(1)
implementation to fix this.

Commit 5a12fd2a8c (doc: change the markup of paragraphs following a
nested list item, 2025-09-27) converted the list of items in
config/extensions.adoc into a definition list. This caused a small
regression in the indentation of one item, but only when built with
AsciiDoctor. You can see the problem with:

If enabled, indicates at least one worktree has been linked with
(along with many other changes which are correctly fixing what
5a12fd2a8c intended to fix). The "Note" paragraph should remain aligned
with the bullet points, as they are left-aligned with the rest of the
definition text.
The confusion comes from a paragraph following a list item (ironically,
the same case that 5a12fd2a8c was solving!). We can solve it by adding
"--" block markers around the nested list. We couldn't have done that
before 5a12fd2a8c because before then our list was nested inside another
set of block markers, something that AsciiDoctor has trouble with. But
now that we are a top-level definition list, it is OK to do so (and in
fact, you can see that commit already made a similar adjustment for the
worktreeConfig entry).

The --merge-base option for merge-tree has a few slightly awkward
constructions or omissions:
* Split the initial long sentence describing the option into two,
making the instructions and the limitations clearer for readers.
* Add context to the final sentence that might be obvious to some
readers but isn't immediately obvious to all.
* The discussion about lack of support for multiple merge bases
simply leave folks wondering why that matters and could help or
hurt. Separate it out and add a brief explanation.

The formatter currently suggests adding a space between a control macro
and parentheses. In the Git project, this is not typically expected. Set
`SpaceBeforeParens` to `ControlStatementsExceptControlMacros`
accordingly.
