+Git v2.13.7 Release Notes
+=========================
+
+Fixes since v2.13.6
+-------------------
+
+ * Submodule "names" come from the untrusted .gitmodules file, but we
+ blindly append them to $GIT_DIR/modules to create our on-disk repo
+ paths. This means you can do bad things by putting "../" into the
+ name. We now enforce some rules for submodule names which will cause
+ Git to ignore these malicious names (CVE-2018-11235).
+
+ Credit for finding this vulnerability and the proof of concept from
+ which the test script was adapted goes to Etienne Stalmans.
+
+ * It was possible to trick the code that sanity-checks paths on NTFS
+ into reading random piece of memory (CVE-2018-11233).
+
+Credit for fixing for these bugs goes to Jeff King, Johannes
+Schindelin and others.

+-----------------
+
+ * This release contains the same fixes made in the v2.13.7 version of

+ v2.14.4, v2.15.2 and v2.16.4 releases. See release notes to

+ * In addition to the above fixes, this release has support on the
+ server side to reject pushes to repositories that attempt to create
+ such problematic .gitmodules file etc. as tracked contents, to help
+ hosting sites protect their customers by preventing malicious
+ contents from spreading.

`oid_array_for_each_unique`::
- Efficiently iterate over each unique element of the list,
- executing the callback function for each one. If the array is
- not sorted, this function has the side effect of sorting it. If
- the callback returns a non-zero value, the iteration ends
- immediately and the callback's return is propagated; otherwise,
- 0 is returned.
+ Iterate over each unique element of the list in sorted order,
+ but otherwise behave like `oid_array_for_each`. If the array
+ is not sorted, this function has the side effect of sorting
+ it.
