The latest release of git-filter-repo, v2.25.0, is also now available. It

people, 5 of whom are new.
The public repo is at

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
