| Git v2.15.2 Release Notes |
| ========================= |
| |
| Fixes since v2.15.1 |
| ------------------- |
| |
| * Recent update to the refs infrastructure implementation started |
| rewriting packed-refs file more often than before; this has been |
| optimized again for most trivial cases. |
| |
| * The SubmittingPatches document has been converted to produce an |
| HTML version via AsciiDoc/Asciidoctor. |
| |
| * Contrary to the documentation, "git pull -4/-6 other-args" did not |
| ask the underlying "git fetch" to go over IPv4/IPv6, which has been |
| corrected. |
| |
| * When "git rebase" prepared an mailbox of changes and fed it to "git |
| am" to replay them, it was confused when a stray "From " happened |
| to be in the log message of one of the replayed changes. This has |
| been corrected. |
| |
| * Command line completion (in contrib/) has been taught about the |
| "--copy" option of "git branch". |
| |
| * "git apply --inaccurate-eof" when used with "--ignore-space-change" |
| triggered an internal sanity check, which has been fixed. |
| |
| * The sequencer machinery (used by "git cherry-pick A..B", and "git |
| rebase -i", among other things) would have lost a commit if stopped |
| due to an unlockable index file, which has been fixed. |
| |
| * The three-way merge performed by "git cherry-pick" was confused |
| when a new submodule was added in the meantime, which has been |
| fixed (or "papered over"). |
| |
| * "git notes" sent its error message to its standard output stream, |
| which was corrected. |
| |
| * A few scripts (both in production and tests) incorrectly redirected |
| their error output. These have been corrected. |
| |
| * Clarify and enhance documentation for "merge-base --fork-point", as |
| it was clear what it computed but not why/what for. |
| |
| * This release also contains the fixes made in the v2.13.7 version of |
| Git. See its release notes for details. |
| |
| |
| Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. |
