I think it is a bigger deal for folks who do not ship a custom installation, but expect to ship a third-party system that interacts with whatever version of git their customers happen to have (in which case they can only recommend their customers to upgrade). I don't know how Stash or GitLab installations work. GitHub ships our own custom git (which I maintain), though we are already on 2.3.x. Either way, though, I do not think it is the upstream Git project's problem. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
