| Git v2.16.3 Release Notes | |
| ========================= | |
| Fixes since v2.16.2 | |
| ------------------- | |
| * "git status" after moving a path in the working tree (hence making | |
| it appear "removed") and then adding with the -N option (hence | |
| making that appear "added") detected it as a rename, but did not | |
| report the old and new pathnames correctly. | |
| * "git commit --fixup" did not allow "-m<message>" option to be used | |
| at the same time; allow it to annotate resulting commit with more | |
| text. | |
| * When resetting the working tree files recursively, the working tree | |
| of submodules are now also reset to match. | |
| * Fix for a commented-out code to adjust it to a rather old API change | |
| around object ID. | |
| * When there are too many changed paths, "git diff" showed a warning | |
| message but in the middle of a line. | |
| * The http tracing code, often used to debug connection issues, | |
| learned to redact potentially sensitive information from its output | |
| so that it can be more safely shareable. | |
| * Crash fix for a corner case where an error codepath tried to unlock | |
| what it did not acquire lock on. | |
| * The split-index mode had a few corner case bugs fixed. | |
| * Assorted fixes to "git daemon". | |
| * Completion of "git merge -s<strategy>" (in contrib/) did not work | |
| well in non-C locale. | |
| * Workaround for segfault with more recent versions of SVN. | |
| * Recently introduced leaks in fsck have been plugged. | |
| * Travis CI integration now builds the executable in 'script' phase | |
| to follow the established practice, rather than during | |
| 'before_script' phase. This allows the CI categorize the failures | |
| better ('failed' is project's fault, 'errored' is build | |
| environment's). | |
| Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. |
