| 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. |
