Git 2.37.4 Release Notes
========================
This primarily is to backport various fixes accumulated on the 'master'
front since 2.37.3.
Fixes since v2.37.3
-------------------
* An earlier optimization discarded a tree-object buffer that is
still in use, which has been corrected.
* Fix deadlocks between main Git process and subprocess spawned via
the pipe_command() API, that can kill "git add -p" that was
reimplemented in C recently.
* xcalloc(), imitating calloc(), takes "number of elements of the
array", and "size of a single element", in this order. A call that
does not follow this ordering has been corrected.
* The preload-index codepath made copies of pathspec to give to
multiple threads, which were left leaked.
* Update the version of Ubuntu used for GitHub Actions CI from 18.04
to 22.04.
* The auto-stashed local changes created by "git merge --autostash"
was mixed into a conflicted state left in the working tree, which
has been corrected.
Also contains other minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
