15
-take small and trivial fixes and documentation updates but let's
16
-really shift our focus to find and fix (or revert) regressions
17
-that may have happened during this cycle.
14
+The second release candidate 2.4-rc2 has been tagged. There were a
15
+few more topics I felt are safe to merge, but they had updates to
16
+translatable strings, which would add last-minute burden to our l10n
17
+teams, so they are held back for the remainder of the cycle.

- The "git push --signed" protocol extension did not limit what the

138
+ pay attention to the log.merges configuration variable that can be

153
+ Add the "--literally" option to "cat-file" to allow inspecting
154
+ loose objects of an experimental or a broken type.
155
131
- We avoid setting core.worktree when the repository location is the
132
- ".git" directory directly at the top level of the working tree, but
133
- the code misdetected the case in which the working tree is at the
134
- root level of the filesystem (which arguably is a silly thing to
135

+ + push --signed: tighten what the receiving end can ask to sign
411
+
412
+ The "git push --signed" protocol extension did not limit what the
413
+ "nonce" that is a server-chosen string can contain or how long it
414
+ can be, which was unnecessarily lax. Limit both the length and the
415
+ alphabet to a reasonably small space that can still have enough
416
+ entropy.

424
+
425
+ We avoid setting core.worktree when the repository location is the
426
+ ".git" directory directly at the top level of the working tree, but
427
+ the code misdetected the case in which the working tree is at the
428
+ root level of the filesystem (which arguably is a silly thing to
429
+ do, but still valid).
