2.7.2

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.
