1Git v2.15.2 Release Notes 2========================= 3 4Fixes 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 47Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
