   1Git v2.4.4 Release Notes
   2========================
   3
   4Fixes since v2.4.3
   5------------------
   6
   7 * l10n updates for German.
   8
   9 * An earlier leakfix to bitmap testing code was incomplete.
  10
  11 * "git clean pathspec..." tried to lstat(2) and complain even for
  12   paths outside the given pathspec.
  13
  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).
  18
  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
  23   things, then why not?
  24
  25 * Make "git stash something --help" error out, so that users can
  26   safely say "git stash drop --help".
  27
  28 * Clarify that "log --raw" and "log --format=raw" are unrelated
  29   concepts.
  30
  31 * Catch a programmer mistake to feed a pointer not an array to
  32   ARRAY_SIZE() macro, by using a couple of GCC extensions.
  33
  34Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code
  35clean-ups.
