| Git v2.4.4 Release Notes | 
 | ======================== | 
 |  | 
 | Fixes 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=raw" 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. |
