The tarballs are found at: https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/ The following public repositories all have a copy of the 'v2.4.4' 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 https://code.google.com/p/git-core/ 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 v2.4.4 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 v2.4.3 ------------------ * l10n updates for German. * An earlier leakfix to bitmap testing code was incomplete. * "git clean pathspec..." tried to lstat(2) and complain even for paths outside the given pathspec. * Communication between the HTTP server and http_backend process can lead to a dead-lock when relaying a large ref negotiation request. Diagnose the situation better, and mitigate it by reading such a request first into core (to a reasonable limit). * The clean/smudge interface did not work well when filtering an empty contents (failed and then passed the empty input through). It can be argued that a filter that produces anything but empty for an empty input is nonsense, but if the user wants to do strange things, then why not? * Make "git stash something --help" error out, so that users can safely say "git stash drop --help". * Clarify that "log --raw" and "log --format=3Draw" are unrelated concepts. * Catch a programmer mistake to feed a pointer not an array to ARRAY_SIZE() macro, by using a couple of GCC extensions. Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code clean-ups. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Changes since v2.4.3 are as follows: Alex Henrie (1): blame, log: format usage strings similarly to those in documentat= ion David Turner (1): clean: only lstat files in pathspec Elia Pinto (1): git-compat-util.h: implement a different ARRAY_SIZE macro for for= safely deriving the size of array Jeff King (8): http-backend: fix die recursion with custom handler t5551: factor out tag creation stash: complain about unknown flags stash: recognize "--help" for subcommands test_bitmap_walk: free bitmap with bitmap_free http-backend: spool ref negotiation requests to buffer clone: use OPT_STRING_LIST for --reference clone: reorder --dissociate and --reference options Jim Hill (1): sha1_file: pass empty buffer to index empty file Junio C Hamano (1): Git 2.4.4 Matthieu Moy (2): Documentation/log: clarify what --raw means Documentation/log: clarify sha1 non-abbreviation in log --raw Michael Coleman (1): Documentation/git-commit: grammofix Michael J Gruber (3): l10n: de.po: grammar fix l10n: de.po: punctuation fixes l10n: de.po: translation fix for fall-back to 3way merge Phillip Sz (1): l10n: de.po: change error message from "sagen" to "Meinten Sie" Ren=C3=A9 Scharfe (3): use file_exists() to check if a file exists in the worktree clean: remove unused variable buf dir: remove unused variable sb Stefan Beller (2): submodule doc: reorder introductory paragraphs glossary: add "remote", "submodule", "superproject"
