Description David Walser 2015-06-20 23:21:38 CEST
There were a few bugfix updates for git 2.3.x after the last update we pushed (including at least one segfault fix).  I guess they don't develop 2.3.x anymore since they're on to 2.4.x now, but that has incompatible changes so we can stick with 2.3.8 as long as it works fine.  It shouldn't need any more updates unless there's a security bug later.

Advisory:
----------------------------------------

The git package has been updated to version 2.3.8, fixing several bugs.  See
the upstream release notes for details.
