2.16.2

Git v2.16.2 Release Notes =========================

Fixes since v2.16.1 -------------------

• An old regression in "git describe --all $annotated_tag^0" has been fixed.

• "git svn dcommit" did not take into account the fact that a svn+ssh: to the same SVN repository without the username@ and failed when svn.pushmergeinfo option is set.

• "git merge -Xours/-Xtheirs" learned to use our/their version when resolving a conflicting updates to a symbolic link.

• "git clone $there $here" is allowed even when here directory exists as long as it is an empty directory, but the command incorrectly removed it upon a failure of the operation.

• "git stash — <pathspec>" incorrectly blew away untracked files in the directory that matched the pathspec, which has been corrected.

• "git add -p" was taught to ignore local changes to submodules as they do not interfere with the partial addition of regular changes anyway.

Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
