   1 Git v2.16.3 Release Notes
   2 =========================
   3
   4 Fixes since v2.16.2
   5 -------------------
   6
   7  * "git status" after moving a path in the working tree (hence making
   8    it appear "removed") and then adding with the -N option (hence
   9    making that appear "added") detected it as a rename, but did not
  10    report the  old and new pathnames correctly.
  11
  12  * "git commit --fixup" did not allow "-m<message>" option to be used
  13    at the same time; allow it to annotate resulting commit with more
  14    text.
  15
  16  * When resetting the working tree files recursively, the working tree
  17    of submodules are now also reset to match.
  18
  19  * Fix for a commented-out code to adjust it to a rather old API change
  20    around object ID.
  21
  22  * When there are too many changed paths, "git diff" showed a warning
  23    message but in the middle of a line.
  24
  25  * The http tracing code, often used to debug connection issues,
  26    learned to redact potentially sensitive information from its output
  27    so that it can be more safely shareable.
  28
  29  * Crash fix for a corner case where an error codepath tried to unlock
  30    what it did not acquire lock on.
  31
  32  * The split-index mode had a few corner case bugs fixed.
  33
  34  * Assorted fixes to "git daemon".
  35
  36  * Completion of "git merge -s<strategy>" (in contrib/) did not work
  37    well in non-C locale.
  38
  39  * Workaround for segfault with more recent versions of SVN.
  40
  41  * Recently introduced leaks in fsck have been plugged.
  42
  43  * Travis CI integration now builds the executable in 'script' phase
  44    to follow the established practice, rather than during
  45    'before_script' phase.  This allows the CI categorize the failures
  46    better ('failed' is project's fault, 'errored' is build
  47    environment's).
  48
  49 Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
