* The ssh transport, just like any other transport over the network,

did not clear GIT_* environment variables, but it is possible to

use SendEnv and AcceptEnv to leak them to the remote invocation of

* The Makefile always runs the library archiver with hardcoded "crs"

|

* Allocation related functions and stdio are unsafe things to call
|

inside a signal handler, and indeed killing the pager can cause

glibc to deadlock waiting on allocation mutex as our signal handler

tries to free() some data structures in wait_for_pager(). Reduce

|

* "git clone --dissociate" runs a big "git repack" process at the

end, and it helps to close file descriptors that are open on the

packs and their idx files before doing so on filesystems that

cannot remove a file that is still open.

Net::Cmd::datasend() did not like to be fed too many bytes at the

|

* "git gc" is safe to run anytime only because it has the built-in
|

grace period to protect young objects. In order to run with no

* The synopsis text and the usage string of subcommands that read

* Merging a branch that removes a path and another that changes the

it didn't and silently favoured the removal.
