These updates to older tracks are to plug buffer overflows due to fixed-sized buffers used to store pathnames in a handful of codepaths (kudos to Peff). The maintenance release 2.5.2 for the current maintenance track also contains other fixes that was recently made on the 'master' front. The tarballs are found at: https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/ The following public repositories all have a copy of the 'v2.5.2' tag and the 'maint' branch that the tag points at: url =3D https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/git/git url =3D git://repo.or.cz/alt-git.git url =3D git://git.sourceforge.jp/gitroot/git-core/git.git url =3D git://git-core.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/git-core/git-core url =3D https://github.com/gitster/git ---------------------------------------------------------------- Git v2.5.2 Release Notes =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D =46ixes since v2.5.1 ------------------ * "git init empty && git -C empty log" said "bad default revision 'HEA= D'", which was found to be a bit confusing to new users. * The "interpret-trailers" helper mistook a multi-paragraph title of a commit log message with a colon in it as the end of the trailer block. * When re-priming the cache-tree opportunistically while committing the in-core index as-is, we mistakenly invalidated the in-core index too aggressively, causing the experimental split-index code to unnecessarily rewrite the on-disk index file(s). * "git archive" did not use zip64 extension when creating an archive with more than 64k entries, which nobody should need, right ;-)? * The code in "multiple-worktree" support that attempted to recover from an inconsistent state updated an incorrect file. * "git rev-list" does not take "--notes" option, but did not complain when one is given. * Because the configuration system does not allow "alias.0foo" and "pager.0foo" as the configuration key, the user cannot use '0foo' as a custom command name anyway, but "git 0foo" tried to look these keys up and emitted useless warnings before saying '0foo is not a git command'. These warning messages have been squelched. * We recently rewrote one of the build scripts in Perl, which made it necessary to have Perl to build Git. Reduced Perl dependency by rewriting it again using sed. * t1509 test that requires a dedicated VM environment had some bitrot, which has been corrected. * strbuf_read() used to have one extra iteration (and an unnecessary strbuf_grow() of 8kB), which was eliminated. * The codepath to produce error messages had a hard-coded limit to the size of the message, primarily to avoid memory allocation while calling die(). * When trying to see that an object does not exist, a state errno leaked from our "first try to open a packfile with O_NOATIME and then if it fails retry without it" logic on a system that refuses O_NOATIME. This confused us and caused us to die, saying that the packfile is unreadable, when we should have just reported that the object does not exist in that packfile to the caller. * An off-by-one error made "git remote" to mishandle a remote with a single letter nickname. * A handful of codepaths that used to use fixed-sized arrays to hold pathnames have been corrected to use strbuf and other mechanisms to allow longer pathnames without fearing overflows. Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code clean-ups. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Changes since v2.5.1 are as follows: Andreas Schwab (1): Documentation/config: fix inconsistent label on gc.*.reflogExpire= Unreachable Christian Couder (3): trailer: ignore first line of message trailer: retitle a test and correct an in-comment message trailer: support multiline title Clemens Buchacher (1): git_open_noatime: return with errno=3D0 on success David Turner (1): commit: don't rewrite shared index unnecessarily Eric Sunshine (1): generate-cmdlist: re-implement as shell script Erik Elfstr=C3=B6m (1): t7300: fix broken && chains Jeff King (9): vreportf: report to arbitrary filehandles vreportf: avoid intermediate buffer config: silence warnings for command names with invalid keys rev-list: make it obvious that we do not support notes log: diagnose empty HEAD more clearly verify_absent: allow filenames longer than PATH_MAX notes: use a strbuf in add_non_note read_info_alternates: handle paths larger than PATH_MAX show-branch: use a strbuf for reflog descriptions Jim Hill (1): strbuf_read(): skip unnecessary strbuf_grow() at eof Johannes Sixt (1): t2019: skip test requiring '*' in a file name non Windows Junio C Hamano (5): ps_matched: xcalloc() takes nmemb and then element size Git 2.2.3 Git 2.3.9 Git 2.4.9 Git 2.5.2 Michael Haggerty (4): get_remote_group(): handle remotes with single-character names get_remote_group(): rename local variable "space" to "wordlen" get_remote_group(): eliminate superfluous call to strcspn() get_remote_group(): use skip_prefix() Nguy=E1=BB=85n Th=C3=A1i Ng=E1=BB=8Dc Duy (1): setup: update the right file in multiple checkouts Patrick Steinhardt (2): tests: fix broken && chains in t1509-root-worktree tests: fix cleanup after tests in t1509-root-worktree Philip Oakley (1): po/README: Update directions for l10n contributors Ren=C3=A9 Scharfe (3): t5004: test ZIP archives with many entries archive-zip: use a local variable to store the creator version archive-zip: support more than 65535 entries SZEDER G=C3=A1bor (2): t3020: fix typo in test description wt-status: move #include "pathspec.h" to the header Sven Strickroth (1): config: close config file handle in case of error
