   1Git v2.7.2 Release Notes
   2========================
   3
   4Fixes since v2.7.1
   5------------------
   6
   7 * The low-level merge machinery has been taught to use CRLF line
   8   termination when inserting conflict markers to merged contents that
   9   are themselves CRLF line-terminated.
  10
  11 * "git worktree" had a broken code that attempted to auto-fix
  12   possible inconsistency that results from end-users moving a
  13   worktree to different places without telling Git (the original
  14   repository needs to maintain backpointers to its worktrees, but
  15   "mv" run by end-users who are not familiar with that fact will
  16   obviously not adjust them), which actually made things worse
  17   when triggered.
  18
  19 * "git push --force-with-lease" has been taught to report if the push
  20   needed to force (or fast-forwarded).
  21
  22 * The emulated "yes" command used in our test scripts has been
  23   tweaked not to spend too much time generating unnecessary output
  24   that is not used, to help those who test on Windows where it would
  25   not stop until it fills the pipe buffer due to lack of SIGPIPE.
  26
  27 * The vimdiff backend for "git mergetool" has been tweaked to arrange
  28   and number buffers in the order that would match the expectation of
  29   majority of people who read left to right, then top down and assign
  30   buffers 1 2 3 4 "mentally" to local base remote merge windows based
  31   on that order.
  32
  33 * The documentation for "git clean" has been corrected; it mentioned
  34   that .git/modules/* are removed by giving two "-f", which has never
  35   been the case.
  36
  37 * Paths that have been told the index about with "add -N" are not
  38   quite yet in the index, but a few commands behaved as if they
  39   already are in a harmful way.

  41Also includes tiny documentation and test updates.
