Among some of the most interesting stuff, we can mention support for using the AcceptEnv and SendEnv to send the GIT_* environment variables that are not cleared by the SSH (Secure Shell) transport to the remote invocation of Git. A timing dependent bug in the test script for the HTTP service has been fixed, the performance-measurement tests now work independently of Git, and the “git am” command has been modified to detect user.signingkey files.
