1 Git v2.15.2 Release Notes
2 =========================

8 rewriting packed-refs file more often than before; this has been
9 optimized again for most trivial cases.
11 * The SubmittingPatches document has been converted to produce an

14 * Contrary to the documentation, "git pull -4/-6 other-args" did not

35 fixed (or "papered over").
37 * "git notes" sent its error message to its standard output stream,
40 * A few scripts (both in production and tests) incorrectly redirected
41 their error output. These have been corrected.
