2 ==========================
7 * "git p4" (in contrib/) submit the changes to a wrong place when the

42 it needs to do over "git rev-list --objects -q" by mistake.
44 * "gitweb" used to drop warnings in the log file when "heads" view is
45 accessed in a repository whose HEAD does not point at a valid
48 * An invalid regular expression pattern given by an end user made
49 "gitweb" to return garbled response.
