Junio C Hamanod32eb832018-03-22 14:24:45 -07001Git v2.16.3 Release Notes
2=========================
3
4Fixes since v2.16.2
5-------------------
6
7 * "git status" after moving a path in the working tree (hence making
8 it appear "removed") and then adding with the -N option (hence
9 making that appear "added") detected it as a rename, but did not
10 report the old and new pathnames correctly.
11
12 * "git commit --fixup" did not allow "-m<message>" option to be used
13 at the same time; allow it to annotate resulting commit with more
14 text.
15
16 * When resetting the working tree files recursively, the working tree
17 of submodules are now also reset to match.
18
19 * Fix for a commented-out code to adjust it to a rather old API change
20 around object ID.
21
22 * When there are too many changed paths, "git diff" showed a warning
23 message but in the middle of a line.
24
25 * The http tracing code, often used to debug connection issues,
26 learned to redact potentially sensitive information from its output
Elijah Newren031fd4b2019-11-05 17:07:20 +000027 so that it can be more safely shareable.

29 * Crash fix for a corner case where an error codepath tried to unlock
30 what it did not acquire lock on.
31
32 * The split-index mode had a few corner case bugs fixed.
33
34 * Assorted fixes to "git daemon".
35
36 * Completion of "git merge -s<strategy>" (in contrib/) did not work
37 well in non-C locale.
38
39 * Workaround for segfault with more recent versions of SVN.
40
41 * Recently introduced leaks in fsck have been plugged.
42
43 * Travis CI integration now builds the executable in 'script' phase
44 to follow the established practice, rather than during
45 'before_script' phase. This allows the CI categorize the failures
46 better ('failed' is project's fault, 'errored' is build
47 environment's).
48
49Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
