[Ole M]

Thank you for filling out a Git bug report!
Please answer the following questions to help us understand your issue.

What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue)
* open Git Gui in a repository from git bash ($ git gui&)
* select some text in the diff pane

What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)
* selected text should be highlighted with white text on blue
background (maybe it used to use system defined colors?)

What happened instead? (Actual behavior)
* selected text is highlighted with white text on black background

What's different between what you expected and what actually happened?
* The contrast has increased to a level that is painful for me to look
at, making it difficult to read the selected text.
* It also makes the experience of this tool different from gitk,
making me focus on the tool rather than the content and workflow.

Anything else you want to add:

Hi Ole,

thanks for the report. It's a known bug, a fix for this is already in
the works.

Best,
Stefan

You don't need admin to use git on Window. OTOH Windows has no concept 
of POSIX file permissions, and this is the reason you cannot set file 
permissions using chmod under git bash.

I can confirm this behaviour[0], and it's definitely wrong that it
thinks `d` is a submodule.  It does, however, work if you do `git commit
-m +` (that is, without the .), which makes sense since the relevant
change is already staged in the index.

I'm not going to get to a patch or more thorough investigation, but
perhaps someone else will.

Bugreport

[do Carmo Lucas, Dr. Amilcar (T-PSC)]

Thank you for filling out a Git bug report!
Please answer the following questions to help us understand your issue.

What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue)
Using git "difftool --dir-diff" on windows on a lfs repository

What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)
I expected it to call the configured tool with no errors

What happened instead? (Actual behavior)
I get the error
error: could not symlink 'D:/xxxx/KUS.a2l' to 'C:\xxxx/KUS.a2l': Function not implemented

To fix this I need to call difftool with "--no-symlinks" but the documentation mentions that "--no-symlinks" is the default on windows. Well, it clearly isn't.

What's different between what you expected and what actually happened?

Anything else you want to add:

Bugreport

[Marcel Svitalský]

What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue)
I called `git lg` command to display git graph log in my terminal. The 
command is defined in my
general gitconfig file as follows:

# double liner with hash, time, branches and tags on first line and the 
message on second
lg = "!f() { num=15; if [ \"$1\" != \"\" ] && ( echo \"$1\" | grep -q 
\"^[0-9]\\\\+\\$\" ) ; then num=\"$1\" ; shift ; fi ; [ $num -eq 0 ] && 
num=999999999 ; git \"$@\" log -n \"$num\" --graph --abbrev-commit 
--decorate --format=format:'%C(bold blue)%h%C(reset) - %C(bold 
cyan)%aD%C(reset) %C(bold green)(%ar)%C(reset)%C(bold 
yellow)%d%C(reset)%n'' %C(white)%s%C(reset)' --all; }; f"

What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)
I expected to see git graph log with the project commits.

What happened instead? (Actual behavior)
On top of the project commits were added these four pseudo-commits made 
by some Git component(s).

* f7b611ce - Wed, 12 Aug 2026 09:26:03 +0200 (5 hours ago)
|  Notes added by 'git notes append' - rewrite-analytics
* 1a7605bb - Wed, 12 Aug 2026 09:26:03 +0200 (5 hours ago)
|  Notes added by 'git notes append' - rewrite-analytics
* c2a05d79 - Wed, 12 Aug 2026 09:25:03 +0200 (5 hours ago)
|  Notes added by 'git notes append' - rewrite-analytics
  \
   * 01c630e0 - Wed, 12 Aug 2026 09:13:00 +0200 (5 hours ago)
      chatter: initialize notes ref - chatter

They are not graphically connected with the actual commits, they just 
sit there over them. No other graphical
tool (Sublime Merge, IntelliJ Idea) displays them.
Originally, when I opened the project, only the first (chronologically) 
commit (by chatter) appeared,
and those by rewrite-analytics seem to be added with actual commits in 
branches, each for one branch.
Sometimes after more commits or merges they disappear and after removing 
(`git reset --hard`) those new
commits/merges they re-appear (I played with it a little).
They are not always on top, sometimes when a new commit in a branch is 
made it gets on top and these
pseudo-commits sit beside (to the right) of the graph log, still 
unconnected.

What's different between what you expected and what actually happened?
Those pseudo-commits.

Anything else you want to add: The terminal is tmux running on 
mate-terminal.

Note the `--all`.

They are Git notes. They form their own connected graph. That’s why they
are not connected with the “actual commits” like from some branch.

The `--all` will include all refs, including Git notes like
`refs/notes/commits`.

This doesn’t look like a bug.

Re: Bugreport

[Marcel Svitalský]

I see, thank you. Is this a new feature? I've been using this command 
for years
and today is the first time I am seeing this. Also, is there another 
flag instead of
`--all` that would just include the actual commits only?

Thank you, best regards

Notes are not new. Perhaps a tool you use started creating them?

You could limit the refs to be listed, like maybe "--branches --tags
--remotes", or "--exclude='refs/notes/*' --all" ? (I'm omitting
treatment of refs/stash, too, for now.)
