This is a security-fix for CVE-2014-9390, which affects users on
Windows and Mac OS X but not typical UNIX users. A set of new
releases for older maintenance tracks (v1.8.5.6, v1.9.5, v2.0.5, and
v2.1.4) are published at the same time and they contain the same fix.
Various implementations and ports, including Git for Windows, Git OS
X installer, JGit & EGit, libgit2 (and Visual Studio which uses it)
have been updated at the same time.
