mismatch from documentation?

Description
I've been tracking a bug in git 2.36 which is fixed in 2.37 -- the image information for 20220724.1 claims it has git 2.37.1 but I'm still seeing 2.36
here's my job run: https://dev.azure.com/asottile/asottile/_build/results?buildId=13799&view=logs&j=94d9d3b4-8e3d-5cdc-d6c7-40ce0e4fea69&t=3be1b07c-7b5b-4b02-84ff-33b8af3eb53d
(excerpt from setup):
Current image version: '20220724.1'
(excerpt from checkout)
git version
git version 2.36.1.windows.1
the documentation for 20220724.1 is at this commit: #5957 and contains this information:
Git 2.37.1.windows.1
I'm wondering why I'm seeing a disparity from the documentation -- and would really like to be on git 2.37 :D

Image version and build link
20220724.1
Is it regression?
kind of? but not really -- it's a regression in git -- here's a passing run though (which was on git 2.30.2): https://dev.azure.com/asottile/asottile/_build/results?buildId=13615&view=results
Expected behavior
I expect to have git 2.37.1 as the documentation states
Actual behavior
I am seeing git 2.36.1
Repro steps
- run any job which checks out code
- note the git version
notably git 2.36.1 on windows has a bug with the output of pre-push hooks is in an undefined order which one of my tests is sensitive to
Hello @asottile.
The documentation is correct. There are a couple of git versions available on Azure DevOps images:
- https://github.com/microsoft/azure-pipelines-agent
- Pre-installed on an image
If we take a look at the build we can find the agent version - Current agent version: '2.206.1' - https://github.com/microsoft/azure-pipelines-agent/releases
PS > cd .\vsts-agent-win-x86-2.206.1\
PS D:\vsts-agent-win-x86-2.206.1> .\externals\git\cmd\git.exe -- version
PS D:\vsts-agent-win-x86-2.206.1> .\externals\git\cmd\git.exe --version
git version 2.36.1.windows.1
Please create a new issue in the https://github.com/microsoft/azure-pipelines-agent repository.

shouldn't the docs show the version that's being used rather than the version that's not? I don't see the point in having the wrong one documented

No, it shouldn't. It's part a 3rd party external agent. You can still use git version which mentioned in the doc.
