| 1 | Git v2.15.2 Release Notes |
| 2 | ========================= |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Fixes since v2.15.1 |
| 5 | ------------------- |
| 6 | |
| 7 | * Recent update to the refs infrastructure implementation started |
| 8 | rewriting packed-refs file more often than before; this has been |
| 9 | optimized again for most trivial cases. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | * The SubmittingPatches document has been converted to produce an |
| 12 | HTML version via AsciiDoc/Asciidoctor. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | * Contrary to the documentation, "git pull -4/-6 other-args" did not |
| 15 | ask the underlying "git fetch" to go over IPv4/IPv6, which has been |
| 16 | corrected. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | * When "git rebase" prepared an mailbox of changes and fed it to "git |
| 19 | am" to replay them, it was confused when a stray "From " happened |
| 20 | to be in the log message of one of the replayed changes. This has |
| 21 | been corrected. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | * Command line completion (in contrib/) has been taught about the |
| 24 | "--copy" option of "git branch". |
| 25 | |
| 26 | * "git apply --inaccurate-eof" when used with "--ignore-space-change" |
| 27 | triggered an internal sanity check, which has been fixed. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | * The sequencer machinery (used by "git cherry-pick A..B", and "git |
| 30 | rebase -i", among other things) would have lost a commit if stopped |
| 31 | due to an unlockable index file, which has been fixed. |
| 32 | |
| 33 | * The three-way merge performed by "git cherry-pick" was confused |
| 34 | when a new submodule was added in the meantime, which has been |
| 35 | fixed (or "papered over"). |
| 36 | |
| 37 | * "git notes" sent its error message to its standard output stream, |
| 38 | which was corrected. |
| 39 | |
| 40 | * A few scripts (both in production and tests) incorrectly redirected |
| 41 | their error output. These have been corrected. |
| 42 | |
| 43 | * Clarify and enhance documentation for "merge-base --fork-point", as |
| 44 | it was clear what it computed but not why/what for. |
| 45 | |
| 46 | * This release also contains the fixes made in the v2.13.7 version of |
| 47 | Git. See its release notes for details. |
| 48 | |

| 50 | Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. |
