"These releases are about hardening `git shell` that is used on servers
against an unsafe user input, which `git cvsserver` copes with poorly.

From the release notes :

  - 'git cvsserver' no longer is invoked by 'git shell' by
    default, as it is old and largely unmaintained.

  - Various Perl scripts did not use safe_pipe_capture()
    instead of backticks, leaving them susceptible to
    end-user input. They have been corrected. Credits go to
    joernchen <[email protected]> for finding the
    unsafe constructs in 'git cvsserver', and to Jeff King
    at GitHub for finding and fixing instances of the same
    issue in other scripts.
