| Git v2.7.2 Release Notes |
| ======================== |
| |
| Fixes since v2.7.1 |
| ------------------ |
| |
| * The low-level merge machinery has been taught to use CRLF line |
| termination when inserting conflict markers to merged contents that |
| are themselves CRLF line-terminated. |
| |
| * "git worktree" had a broken code that attempted to auto-fix |
| possible inconsistency that results from end-users moving a |
| worktree to different places without telling Git (the original |
| repository needs to maintain backpointers to its worktrees, but |
| "mv" run by end-users who are not familiar with that fact will |
| obviously not adjust them), which actually made things worse |
| when triggered. |
| |
| * "git push --force-with-lease" has been taught to report if the push |
| needed to force (or fast-forwarded). |
| |
| * The emulated "yes" command used in our test scripts has been |
| tweaked not to spend too much time generating unnecessary output |
| that is not used, to help those who test on Windows where it would |
| not stop until it fills the pipe buffer due to lack of SIGPIPE. |
| |
| * The vimdiff backend for "git mergetool" has been tweaked to arrange |
| and number buffers in the order that would match the expectation of |
| majority of people who read left to right, then top down and assign |
| buffers 1 2 3 4 "mentally" to local base remote merge windows based |
| on that order. |
| |
| * The documentation for "git clean" has been corrected; it mentioned |
| that .git/modules/* are removed by giving two "-f", which has never |
| been the case. |
| |
| * Paths that have been told the index about with "add -N" are not |
| quite yet in the index, but a few commands behaved as if they |
| already are in a harmful way. |
| |
| Also includes tiny documentation and test updates. |
