The tarballs are found at: https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/ The following public repositories all have a copy of the 'v2.15.0' tag and the 'master' branch that the tag points at: url = https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/git/git url = git://repo.or.cz/alt-git.git url = https://github.com/gitster/git New contributors whose contributions weren't in v2.14.0 are as follows.

Christensen, Torsten Bögershausen, Trần Ngọc Quân, William Duclot, and W. Trevor King. Git 2.15 Release Notes == Backward compatibility notes and other notable changes. * Use of an empty string as a pathspec element that is used for 'everything matches' is still warned and Git asks users to use a more explicit '.' for that instead. The hope is that existing users will not mind this change, and eventually the warning can be turned into a hard error, upgrading the deprecation into removal of this (mis)feature. That is now scheduled to happen in Git v2.16, the next major release after this one. * Git now avoids blindly falling back to ".git" when the setup sequence said we are _not_ in Git repository. A corner case that happens to work right now may be broken by a call to BUG(). We've tried hard to locate such cases and fixed them, but there might still be cases that need to be addressed--bug reports are greatly appreciated. * "branch --set-upstream" that has been deprecated in Git 1.8 has finally been retired. Updates since v2.14 --- UI, Workflows & Features * An example that is now obsolete has been removed from a sample hook, and an old example in it that added a sign-off manually has been improved to use the interpret-trailers command. * The advice message given when "git rebase" stops for conflicting changes has been improved. * The "rerere-train" script (in contrib/) learned the "--overwrite" option to allow overwriting existing recorded resolutions. * "git contacts" (in contrib/) now lists the address on the "Reported-by:" trailer to its output, in addition to those on S-o-b: and other trailers, to make it easier to notify (and thank) the original bug reporter. * "git rebase", especially when it is run by mistake and ends up trying to replay many changes, spent long time in silence. The command has been taught to show progress report when it spends long time preparing these many changes to replay (which would give the user a chance to abort with ^C). * "git merge" learned a "--signoff" option to add the Signed-off-by: trailer with the committer's name. * "git diff" learned to optionally paint new lines that are the same as deleted lines elsewhere differently from genuinely new lines. * "git interpret-trailers" learned to take the trailer specifications from the command line that overrides the configured values. * "git interpret-trailers" has been taught a "--parse" and a few other options to make it easier for scripts to grab existing trailer lines from a commit log message. * The "--format=%(trailers)" option "git log" and its friends take learned to take the 'unfold' and

Git 2.15 Release Notes (draft)
==
Backward compatibility notes and other notable changes.
* Use of an empty string as a pathspec element that is used for
'everything matches' is still warned and Git asks users to use a
more explicit '.' for that instead. The hope is that existing
users will not mind this change, and eventually the warning can be
turned into a hard error, upgrading the deprecation into removal of
this (mis)feature. That is now scheduled to happen in the upcoming
release.
* Git now avoids blindly falling back to ".git" when the setup
sequence said we are _not_ in Git repository. A corner case that
happens to work right now may be broken by a call to die("BUG").
We've tried hard to locate such cases and fixed them, but there
might still be cases that need to be addressed--bug reports are
greatly appreciated.
* "branch --set-upstream" that has been deprecated in Git 1.8 has
finally been retired.
Updates since v2.14
---
UI, Workflows & Features
* An example that is now obsolete has been removed from a sample hook,
and an old example in it that added a sign-off manually has been
improved to use the interpret-trailers command.
* The advice message given when "git rebase" stops for conflicting
changes has been improved.
* The "rerere-train" script (in contrib/) learned the "--overwrite"
option to allow overwriting existing recorded resolutions.
* "git contacts" (in contrib/) now lists the address on the
"Reported-by:" trailer to its output, in addition to those on
S-o-b: and other trailers, to make it easier to notify (and thank)
the original bug reporter.
* "git rebase", especially when it is run by mistake and ends up
trying to replay many changes, spent long time in silence. The
command has been taught to show progress report when it spends
long time preparing these many changes to replay (which would give
the user a chance to abort with ^C).
* "git merge" learned a "--signoff" option to add the Signed-off-by:
trailer with the committer's name.
* "git diff" learned to optionally paint new lines that are the same
as deleted lines elsewhere differently from genuinely new lines.
* "git interpret-trailers" learned to take the trailer specifications
from the command line that overrides the configured values.
* "git interpret-trailers" has been taught a "--parse" and a few
other options to make it easier for scripts to grab existing
trailer lines from a commit log message.
* "gitweb" shows a link to visit the 'raw' contents of blbos in the
history overview page.
* "[gc] rerereResolved = 5.days" used to be invalid, as the variable
is defined to take an integer counting the number of days. It now
is allowed.
* The code to acquire a lock on a reference (e.g. while accepting a
push from a client) used to immediately fail when the reference is
already locked---now it waits for a very short while and retries,
which can make it succeed if the
