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