+Git v2.15.2 Release Notes
+=========================
+
+Fixes since v2.15.1
+-------------------
+
+ * Recent update to the refs infrastructure implementation started
+   rewriting packed-refs file more often than before; this has been
+   optimized again for most trivial cases.
+
+ * The SubmittingPatches document has been converted to produce an
+   HTML version via AsciiDoc/Asciidoctor.
+
+ * Contrary to the documentation, "git pull -4/-6 other-args" did not
+   ask the underlying "git fetch" to go over IPv4/IPv6, which has been
+   corrected.
+
+ * When "git rebase" prepared an mailbox of changes and fed it to "git
+   am" to replay them, it was confused when a stray "From " happened
+   to be in the log message of one of the replayed changes.  This has
+   been corrected.
+
+ * Command line completion (in contrib/) has been taught about the
+   "--copy" option of "git branch".
+
+ * "git apply --inaccurate-eof" when used with "--ignore-space-change"
+   triggered an internal sanity check, which has been fixed.
+
+ * The sequencer machinery (used by "git cherry-pick A..B", and "git
+   rebase -i", among other things) would have lost a commit if stopped
+   due to an unlockable index file, which has been fixed.
+
+ * The three-way merge performed by "git cherry-pick" was confused
+   when a new submodule was added in the meantime, which has been
+   fixed (or "papered over").
+
+ * "git notes" sent its error message to its standard output stream,
+   which was corrected.
+
+ * A few scripts (both in production and tests) incorrectly redirected
+   their error output.  These have been corrected.
+
+ * Clarify and enhance documentation for "merge-base --fork-point", as
+   it was clear what it computed but not why/what for.

+
+ * "git grep -W", "git diff -W" and their friends learned a heuristic

+
+ * Ancient part of codebase still shows dots after an abbreviated

+BACKGROUND REFRESH
+------------------
+
+By default, `git status` will automatically refresh the index, updating
+the cached stat information from the working tree and writing out the
+result. Writing out the updated index is an optimization that isn't
+strictly necessary (`status` computes the values for itself, but writing
+them out is just to save subsequent programs from repeating our
+computation). When `status` is run in the background, the lock held
+during the write may conflict with other simultaneous processes, causing
+them to fail. Scripts running `status` in the background should consider
+using `git --no-optional-locks status` (see linkgit:git[1] for details).

+
+It is common for fetch to consider objects that we might not have, and it is an
+easy mistake for the code to use a function like `parse_object` that might
+give the correct _answer_ on such an object, but do so slowly (due to
+re-scanning the pack directory for lookup failures).
+
+The resulting performance drop can be hard to notice in a real repository, but
+becomes quite large in a repository with a large number of packs. So this
+test creates a more pathological case, since any mistakes would produce a more
+noticeable slowdown.
