19 (surprise!) note that is empty.
22 Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
27 Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
33 Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.2 in the maintenance

42 * open() emulated on Windows platforms did not give EISDIR upon
43 an attempt to open a directory for writing.
44 (merge ba6fad0 js/windows-open-eisdir-error later to maint).
46 * A few code paths used abs() when they should have used labs() on

51 * "gitweb" used to depend on a behaviour recent CGI.pm deprecated.
52 (merge 13dbf46 jk/gitweb-with-newer-cgi-multi-param later to maint).
54 * "git init" (hence "git clone") initialized the per-repository
55 configuration file .git/config with x-bit by mistake.
