This should update to 2013-2015. (A copyright year should never be removed)

Does it only change files that where changed during that year? Or does the script just changes every copyright information?

It should only change files that have been modified.
MarcoFalke commented at 7:51 AM on December 14, 2015: member

Right, it only updates files where GitAuthorDate of the last commit to this file contains 2015.

Concept ACK.
