+========================
+
+Fixes since v2.7.5
+------------------
+
+ * A "ssh://..." URL can result in a "ssh" command line with a
+ hostname that begins with a dash "-", which would cause the "ssh"
+ command to instead (mis)treat it as an option. This is now
+ prevented by forbidding such a hostname (which will not be
+ necessary in the real world).
+
+ * Similarly, when GIT_PROXY_COMMAND is configured, the command is
+ run with host and port that are parsed out from "ssh://..." URL;
+ a poorly written GIT_PROXY_COMMAND could be tricked into treating
+ a string that begins with a dash "-". This is now prevented by
+ forbidding such a hostname and port number (again, which will not
+ be necessary in the real world).
+
+ * In the same spirit, a repository name that begins with a dash "-"
+ is also forbidden now.
+
+Credits go to Brian Neel at GitLab, Joern Schneeweisz of Recurity

and exit gracefully on its own. Git will wait until the filter
process has stopped.
+Delay
+^^^^^
+
+If the filter supports the "delay" capability, then Git can send the
+flag "can-delay" after the filter command and pathname. This flag
+denotes that the filter can delay filtering the current blob (e.g. to
+compensate network latencies) by responding with no content but with
+the status "delayed" and a flush packet.

+------------------------
+
+If the filter supports the "delay" capability then it must support the
+"list_available_blobs" command. If Git sends this command, then the
+filter is expected to return a list of pathnames representing blobs
+that have been delayed earlier and are now available.
+The list must be terminated with a flush packet followed
+by a "success" status that is also terminated with a flush packet. If
+no blobs for the delayed paths are available, yet, then the filter is
+expected to block the response until at least one blob becomes
+available. The filter can tell Git that it has no more delayed blobs
+by sending an empty list. As soon as the filter responds with an empty
+list, Git stops asking. All blobs that Git has not received at this
+point are considered missing and will result in an error.

+
+After Git received the pathnames, it will request the corresponding

-sub-process API
-===============
-
-The sub-process API makes it possible to run background sub-processes
-for the entire lifetime of a Git invocation. If Git needs to communicate
-with an external process multiple times, then this can reduces the process
-invocation overhead. Git and the sub-process communicate through stdin and
-stdout.
-
-The sub-processes are kept in a hashmap by command name and looked up
-via the subprocess_find_entry function. If an existing instance can not
-be found then a new process should be created and started. When the
-parent git command terminates, all sub-processes are also terminated.
-
-This API is based on the run-command API.

-Data structures

- typically used to negotiate the interface version and capabilities.
