An update that solves one vulnerability and has one errata is now available
Summary
This update for git fixes the following issues: Security issue fixed: - CVE-2020-5260: With a crafted URL that contains a newline in it, the credential helper machinery can be fooled to give credential information for a wrong host (bsc#1168930). Non-security issue fixed: git was updated to 2.26.0 for SHA256 support (bsc#1167890, jsc#SLE-11608): - the xinetd snippet was removed - the System V init script for the git-daemon was replaced by a systemd service file of the same name. git 2.26.0: * "git rebase" now uses a different backend that is based on the 'merge' machinery by default. The 'rebase.backend' configuration variable reverts to old behaviour when set to 'apply' * Improved handling of sparse checkouts * Improvements to many commands and internal features git 2.25.1: * "git commit" now honors advise.statusHints
