This is a security-fix for CVE-2014-9390, which affects users on Windows and Mac OS X but not typical UNIX users. A set of new releases for older maintenance tracks (v1.8.5.6, v1.9.5, v2.0.5, and v2.1.4) are published at the same time and they contain the same fix. Various implementations and ports, including Git for Windows, Git OS X installer, JGit & EGit, libgit2 (and Visual Studio which uses it) have been updated at the same time. Even though the issue may not affect Linux users, if you are a hosting service whose users may fetch from your service to Windows or Mac OS X machines, you are strongly encouraged to update to protect such users who use existing versions of Git. The tarballs are found at: https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/ The following public repositories all have a copy of the 'v2.2.1' tag and the 'maint' branch that the tag points at: url = https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/git/git url = git://repo.or.cz/alt-git.git url = https://code.google.com/p/git-core/ url = git://git.sourceforge.jp/gitroot/git-core/git.git url = git://git-core.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/git-core/git-core url = https://github.com/gitster/git Git v2.2.1 Release Notes ======================== Fixes since v2.2 ---------------- * We used to allow committing a path ".Git/config" with Git that is running on a case sensitive filesystem, but an attempt to check out such a path with Git that runs on a case insensitive filesystem would have clobbered ".git/config", which is definitely not what the user would have expected. Git now prevents you from tracking a path with ".Git" (in any case combination) as a path component. * On Windows, certain path components that are different from ".git" are mapped to ".git", e.g. "git~1/config" is treated as if it were ".git/config". HFS+ has a similar issue, where certain unicode codepoints are ignored, e.g. ".g\u200cit/config" is treated as if it were ".git/config". Pathnames with these potential issues are rejected on the affected systems. Git on systems that are not affected by this issue (e.g. Linux) can also be configured to reject them to ensure cross platform interoperability of the hosted projects. * "git fsck" notices a tree object that records such a path that can be confused with ".git", and with receive.fsckObjects configuration set to true, an attempt to "git push" such a tree object will be rejected. Such a path may not be a problem on some filesystems but in order to protect those on HFS+ and on case insensitive filesystems, this check is enabled on all platforms. A big "thanks!" for bringing this issue to us goes to our friends in the Mercurial land, namely, Matt Mackall and Augie Fackler. Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code clean-ups. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Changes since v2.2.0 are as follows: Hartmut Henkel (1): l10n: de.po: fix typos Jeff King (8): unpack-trees: propagate errors adding entries to the index read-tree: add tests for confusing paths like ".." and ".git" verify_dotfile(): reject .git case-insensitively t1450: refactor ".", "..", and ".git" fsck tests fsck: notice .git case-insensitively utf8: add is_hfs_dotgit() helper read-cache: optionally disallow HFS+ .git variants fsck: complain about HFS+ ".git" aliases in trees Johannes Schindelin (3): path: add is_ntfs_dotgit() helper read-cache: optionally disallow NTFS .git variants fsck: complain about NTFS ".git" aliases in trees Junio C Hamano (6): Start post 2.2 cycle Git 1.8.5.6 Git 1.9.5 Git 2.0.5 Git 2.1.4 Git 2.2.1
