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.
