This also bumps the stable nixpkgs to 20.09 as of 2020-11-21, because there is some breakage in the git build related to the netrc credentials helper which someone has taken care of in nixpkgs. The stable channel is not used for anything other than git, so this should be fine. Change-Id: I3575a19dab09e1e9556cf8231d717de9890484fb

Git v2.3.3 Release Notes
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.3.2
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
* A corrupt input to "git diff -M" used cause us to segfault.
|
|
|
|
* The borrowed code in kwset API did not follow our usual convention
|
|
to use "unsigned char" to store values that range from 0-255.
|
|
|
|
* Description given by "grep -h" for its --exclude-standard option
|
|
was phrased poorly.
|
|
|
|
* Documentation for "git remote add" mentioned "--tags" and
|
|
"--no-tags" and it was not clear that fetch from the remote in
|
|
the future will use the default behaviour when neither is given
|
|
to override it.
|
|
|
|
* "git diff --shortstat --dirstat=changes" showed a dirstat based on
|
|
lines that was never asked by the end user in addition to the
|
|
dirstat that the user asked for.
|
|
|
|
* The interaction between "git submodule update" and the
|
|
submodule.*.update configuration was not clearly documented.
|
|
|
|
* "git apply" was not very careful about reading from, removing,
|
|
updating and creating paths outside the working tree (under
|
|
--index/--cached) or the current directory (when used as a
|
|
replacement for GNU patch).
|
|
|
|
* "git daemon" looked up the hostname even when "%CH" and "%IP"
|
|
interpolations are not requested, which was unnecessary.
|
|
|
|
* The "interpolated-path" option of "git daemon" inserted any string
|
|
client declared on the "host=" capability request without checking.
|
|
Sanitize and limit %H and %CH to a saner and a valid DNS name.
|
|
|
|
Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code clean-ups.
