Git v2.7.4 Release Notes
========================

Fixes since v2.7.3
------------------

 * Bugfix patches were backported from the 'master' front to plug heap
   corruption holes, to catch integer overflow in the computation of
   pathname lengths, and to get rid of the name_path API.  Both of
   these would have resulted in writing over an under-allocated buffer
   when formulating pathnames while tree traversal.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Changes since v2.7.3 are as follows:

Jeff King (7):
      add helpers for detecting size_t overflow
      tree-diff: catch integer overflow in combine_diff_path allocation
      http-push: stop using name_path
      show_object_with_name: simplify by using path_name()
      list-objects: convert name_path to a strbuf
      list-objects: drop name_path entirely
      list-objects: pass full pathname to callbacks
If there is a new 2.7.x release, does it make sense to cherry-pick this one:
