1 +Git v2.15.1 Release Notes
2 +=========================
3 +
4 +Fixes since v2.15
5 +-----------------
6 +
7 + * TravisCI build updates.
8 +
9 + * "auto" as a value for the columnar output configuration ought to
10 + judge "is the output consumed by humans?" with the same criteria as
11 + "auto" for coloured output configuration, i.e. either the standard
12 + output stream is going to tty, or a pager is in use. We forgot the
13 + latter, which has been fixed.
14 +
15 + * The experimental "color moved lines differently in diff output"
16 + feature was buggy around "ignore whitespace changes" edges, whihch
17 + has been corrected.
18 +
19 + * Instead of using custom line comparison and hashing functions to
20 + implement "moved lines" coloring in the diff output, use the pair
21 + of these functions from lower-layer xdiff/ code.
22 +
23 + * Some codepaths did not check for errors when asking what branch the
24 + HEAD points at, which have been fixed.
25 +
26 + * "git commit", after making a commit, did not check for errors when
27 + asking on what branch it made the commit, which has been correted.
28 +
29 + * "git status --ignored -u" did not stop at a working tree of a
30 + separate project that is embedded in an ignored directory and
31 + listed files in that other project, instead of just showing the
32 + directory itself as ignored.
33 +
34 + * A broken access to object databases in recent update to "git grep
35 + --recurse-submodules" has been fixed.
36 +
37 + * A recent regression in "git rebase -i" that broke execution of git
38 + commands from subdirectories via "exec" insn has been fixed.
39 +
40 + * "git check-ref-format --branch @{-1}" bit a "BUG()" when run
41 + outside a repository for obvious reasons; clarify the documentation
42 + and make sure we do not even try to expand the at-mark magic in
43 + such a case, but still call the validation logic for branch names.
44 +
45 + * Command line completion (in contrib/) update.
46 +
47 + * Description of blame.{showroot,blankboundary,showemail,date}
48 + configuration variables have been added to "git config --help".
49 +
50 + * After an error from lstat(), diff_populate_filespec() function
51 + sometimes still went ahead and used invalid data in struct stat,
52 + which has been fixed.
53 +
54 + * UNC paths are also relevant in Cygwin builds and they are now
55 + tested just like Mingw builds.
56 +
57 + * Correct start-up sequence so that a repository could be placed
58 + immediately under the root directory again (which was broken at
59 + around Git 2.13).
60 +
61 + * The credential helper for libsecret (in contrib/) has been improved
62 + to allow possibly prompting the end user to unlock secrets that are
63 + currently locked (otherwise the secrets may not be loaded).
64 +
65 + * Updates from GfW project.
66 +
67 +
68 +Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
