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:// URL with a username@ (typically used for pushing) refers
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.
