git 1:2.38.1-1ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

git (1:2.38.1-1ubuntu1) lunar; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
    - Build diff-highlight in the contrib dir
    - Don't build-depend on subversion on i386, it is not reasonable to
      support on the partial arch.

git (1:2.38.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * new upstream release (closes: #1022046; see RelNotes/2.38.0.txt,
    RelNotes/2.38.1.txt).
    * Addresses the security issue CVE-2022-39253: cloning an
      attacker-controlled local repository could store arbitrary files
      in the ".git" directory of the destination repository.

      Thanks to Cory Snider of Mirantis for reporting this
      vulnerability and Taylor Blau for the mitigation.

    * Addresses CVE-2022-39260: a long command string passed to a `git
      shell` configured to support custom commands could overflow and
      run arbitrary code.

      Thanks to Kevin Backhouse of GitHub for reporting this
      vulnerability and Kevin Backhouse, Jeff King, and Taylor Blau
      for mitigating it.

Binary packages built by this source

git: fast, scalable, distributed revision control system

 Git is popular version control system designed to handle very large
 projects with speed and efficiency; it is used for many high profile
 open source projects, most notably the Linux kernel.
 .
 Git falls in the category of distributed source code management tools.
 Every Git working directory is a full-fledged repository with full
 revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a
 central server.
 .
 This package provides the git main components with minimal dependencies.
 Additional functionality, e.g. a graphical user interface and revision
 tree visualizer, tools for interoperating with other VCS's, or a web
 interface, is provided as separate git* packages.

git-all: fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (all subpackages)

 Git is popular version control system designed to handle very large
 projects with speed and efficiency; it is used for many high profile
 open source projects, most notably the Linux kernel.
 .
 Git falls in the category of distributed source code management tools.
 Every Git working directory is a full-fledged repository with full
 revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a
 central server.
 .
 This is a dummy package which brings in all subpackages.

git-cvs: fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (cvs interoperability)

 Git is popular version control system designed to handle very large
 projects with speed and efficiency; it is used for many high profile
 open source projects, most notably the Linux kernel.
 .
 Git falls in the category of distributed source code management tools.
 Every Git working directory is a full-fledged repository with full
 revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a
 central server.
 .
 This package provides the git cvsimport, cvsexportcommit, and cvsserver
 tools, which allow Git to read from and write to CVS repositories and
 offer access over CVS protocol to Git repositories.
 .
 The git cvsimport tool can incrementally import from a repository that
 is being actively developed and only requires remote access over CVS
 protocol. Unfortunately, in many situations the import leads to
 incorrect results. For reliable, one-shot imports, cvs2git from the
 cvs2svn package or parsecvs may be a better fit.

git-daemon-run: fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (git-daemon service)

 Git is popular version control system designed to handle very large
 projects with speed and efficiency; it is used for many high profile
 open source projects, most notably the Linux kernel.
 .
 Git falls in the category of distributed source code management tools.
 Every Git working directory is a full-fledged repository with full
 revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a
 central server.
 .
 git-daemon, as provided by the git package, is a simple server for git
 repositories, ideally suited for read-only updates, i.e. pulling from git
 repositories through the network. This package provides a runit service
 for running git-daemon permanently. This configuration is simpler and
 more reliable than git-daemon-sysvinit, at a cost of being less
 familiar for administrators accustomed to sysvinit.

git-daemon-sysvinit: fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (git-daemon service)

 Git is popular version control system designed to handle very large
 projects with speed and efficiency; it is used for many high profile
 open source projects, most notably the Linux kernel.

 Every Git working directory is a full-fledged repository with full
 revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a
 central server.
 .
 git-daemon, as provided by the git package, is a simple server for git
 repositories, ideally suited for read-only updates, i.e. pulling from git
 repositories through the network. This package provides a sysvinit service
 for running git-daemon permanently. Unlike git-daemon-run, this
 package provides the usual sysvinit service management commands
 ("service git-daemon start/stop") for git-daemon.

git-dbgsym: debug symbols for git
git-doc: fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (documentation)

 Git is popular version control system designed to handle very large
 projects with speed and efficiency; it is used for many high profile
 open source projects, most notably the Linux kernel.
