Subject[ANNOUNCE] Git v2.4.5
Date
The latest maintenance release Git v2.4.5 is now available at
the usual places.

The tarballs are found at:

https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/

The following public repositories all have a copy of the 'v2.4.5'
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

Git v2.4.5 Release Notes
========================

Fixes since v2.4.4
------------------

* The setup code used to die when core.bare and core.worktree are set
inconsistently, even for commands that do not need working tree.

* There was a dead code that used to handle "git pull --tags" and
show special-cased error message, which was made irrelevant when
the semantics of the option changed back in Git 1.9 days.

* "color.diff.plain" was a misnomer; give it 'color.diff.context' as
a more logical synonym.

* The configuration reader/writer uses mmap(2) interface to access
the files; when we find a directory, it barfed with "Out of memory?".

* Recent "git prune" traverses young unreachable objects to safekeep
old objects in the reachability chain from them, which sometimes
showed unnecessary error messages that are alarming.

* "git rebase -i" fired post-rewrite hook when it shouldn't (namely,
when it was told to stop sequencing with 'exec' insn).

Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code
clean-ups.
