 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [v0.51.651] — 2026-06-25 — Release XG (force update no longer aborts on undeletable Windows files)
+
+### Fixed

+- **Force update no longer fails when the working tree contains a file git can't delete (Windows reserved device names).** On Windows, a file named after a reserved device (`nul`, `con`, `prn`, `aux`, `com1`–`com9`, `lpt1`–`lpt9`) can end up in the working tree — for example when a shell command redirects to `> nul` under Git Bash, which treats it as a literal filename — and git cannot remove it through the normal Win32 path. That made `git clean -fd` exit non-zero, and the force-update flow treated it as fatal ("Failed to remove untracked files before force reset"), leaving the user permanently unable to force-update. The clean step is now best-effort: a failure is logged for diagnostics but no longer aborts, because the subsequent `git reset --hard` applies the update regardless (overwriting any tracked-file collisions, and the residual undeletable untracked file is harmless). A genuine reset failure still aborts as before. Thanks @rodboev for the report and root-cause. (#4914)
