Git v2.5.5 Release Notes
========================

Fixes since v2.5.4
------------------

 * Bugfix patches were backported from the 'master' front to plug heap
   corruption holes, to catch integer overflow in the computation of
   pathname lengths, and to get rid of the name_path API.  Both of
   these would have resulted in writing over an under-allocated buffer
   when formulating pathnames while tree traversal.
