+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.
