   1 Git v2.15.2 Release Notes
   2 =========================
   3
   4 Fixes 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  * This release also contains the fixes made in the v2.13.7 version of
  47    Git.  See its release notes for details.
