Git 2.4.4 is a pretty small release that fixes no more than seven issues reported by users since the previous version of the software, and adds updates the German language localization. It appears that Git 2.4.4 finally fixes a memory leak in the bitmap testing code (this is the second attempt to fix the leak), addresses an issue with the “git clean pathspec…” command, which will no longer complain about paths that are outside a certain pathspec.
