1Git v2.15.1 Release Notes 2========================= 3 4Fixes 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 68Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
