| 2 | ======================== |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Fixes 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 | |
| 34 | Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code |
| 35 | clean-ups. |
