1 Git v2.4.4 Release Notes
2 ========================
7 * l10n updates for German.
9 * An earlier leakfix to bitmap testing code was incomplete.
11 * "git clean pathspec..." tried to lstat(2) and complain even for
12 paths outside the given pathspec.
14 * Communication between the HTTP server and http_backend process can
15 lead to a dead-lock when relaying a large ref negotiation request.
16 Diagnose the situation better, and mitigate it by reading such a
17 request first into core (to a reasonable limit).
19 * The clean/smudge interface did not work well when filtering an
20 empty contents (failed and then passed the empty input through).
21 It can be argued that a filter that produces anything but empty for
22 an empty input is nonsense, but if the user wants to do strange
25 * Make "git stash something --help" error out, so that users can
26 safely say "git stash drop --help".
28 * Clarify that "log --raw" and "log --format=raw" are unrelated
31 * Catch a programmer mistake to feed a pointer not an array to
32 ARRAY_SIZE() macro, by using a couple of GCC extensions.
34 Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code
