Git v2.6.1 Release Notes
 | 
						|
========================
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Fixes since v2.6
 | 
						|
----------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 * xdiff code we use to generate diffs is not prepared to handle
 | 
						|
   extremely large files.  It uses "int" in many places, which can
 | 
						|
   overflow if we have a very large number of lines or even bytes in
 | 
						|
   our input files, for example.  Cap the input size to somewhere
 | 
						|
   around 1GB for now.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 * Some protocols (like git-remote-ext) can execute arbitrary code
 | 
						|
   found in the URL.  The URLs that submodules use may come from
 | 
						|
   arbitrary sources (e.g., .gitmodules files in a remote
 | 
						|
   repository), and can hurt those who blindly enable recursive
 | 
						|
   fetch.  Restrict the allowed protocols to well known and safe
 | 
						|
   ones.
