This update fixes a Denial of Service vulnerability in git-daemon

Summary

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an

unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations

and full access to internals.

The git rpm installs the core tools with minimal dependencies. To

install all git packages, including tools for integrating with other

SCMs, install the git-all meta-package.

Update Information:

This update fixes a Denial of Service vulnerability in git-daemon. It also fixes minor issues when using git-cvsimport and the formatting of the git-daemon xinetd service description.
