+ * "http.proxy" set to an empty string is used to disable the usage of
+ proxy. We broke this early last year.
+ (merge ae51d91105 sr/http-proxy-configuration-fix later to maint).
+
+ * $GIT_DIR may in some cases be normalized with all symlinks resolved
+ while "gitdir" path expansion in the pattern does not receive the
+ same treatment, leading to incorrect mismatch. This has been fixed.
+
+ * "git submodule" script does not work well with strange pathnames.
+ Protect it from a path with slashes in them, at least.
+
+ * "git fetch-pack" was not prepared to accept ERR packet that the
+ upload-pack can send with a human-readable error message. It
+ showed the packet contents with ERR prefix, so there was no data
+ loss, but it was redundant to say "ERR" in an error message.
+ (merge 8e2c7bef03 jt/fetch-pack-error-reporting later to maint).
+
+ * "ls-files --recurse-submodules" did not quite work well in a
+ project with nested submodules.
+
+ * gethostname(2) may not NUL terminate the buffer if hostname does
+ not fit; unfortunately there is no easy way to see if our buffer
+ was too small, but at least this will make sure we will not end up
+ using garbage past the end of the buffer.
