Re: Officially supported Git versions

Is there an official list of the Git versions that are still actively

Depends on your definition of "official".  Distro with lts may patch
older maintenance tracks longer than the upstream releases do, and
as far as the normal end-users are concerned, Distro packaged
binaries are as "offcial" as they get, probably more "official" than
what comes from the upstream and then built from the source.

I however do not think distro folks advertise which maintenance
tracks they backport the patches here on this mailing list.

As to the "upstream", usually 'maint' track gets all fixes, and
probably one or two older maintenance tracks tend to get security
fixes as well.  Beyond that horizon, it's pretty much "as time
permits" basis.
