Git v2.3.3 Release Notes
========================

Fixes since v2.3.2
------------------

 * A corrupt input to "git diff -M" used cause us to segfault.

 * The borrowed code in kwset API did not follow our usual convention
   to use "unsigned char" to store values that range from 0-255.

 * Description given by "grep -h" for its --exclude-standard option
   was phrased poorly.

 * Documentaton for "git remote add" mentioned "--tags" and
   "--no-tags" and it was not clear that fetch from the remote in
   the future will use the default behaviour when neither is given
   to override it.

 * "git diff --shortstat --dirstat=changes" showed a dirstat based on
   lines that was never asked by the end user in addition to the
   dirstat that the user asked for.

 * The interaction between "git submodule update" and the
   submodule.*.update configuration was not clearly documented.

 * "git apply" was not very careful about reading from, removing,
   updating and creating paths outside the working tree (under
   --index/--cached) or the current directory (when used as a
   replacement for GNU patch).

 * "git daemon" looked up the hostname even when "%CH" and "%IP"
   interpolations are not requested, which was unnecessary.

 * The "interpolated-path" option of "git daemon" inserted any string
   client declared on the "host=" capability request without checking.
   Sanitize and limit %H and %CH to a saner and a valid DNS name.

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