+Git v2.17.1 Release Notes
+=========================
+
+Fixes since v2.17
+-----------------
+
+ * This release contains the same fixes made in the v2.13.7 version of
+   Git, covering CVE-2018-11233 and 11235, and forward-ported to
+   v2.14.4, v2.15.2 and v2.16.4 releases.  See release notes to
+   v2.13.7 for details.
+
+ * In addition to the above fixes, this release has support on the
+   server side to reject pushes to repositories that attempt to create
+   such problematic .gitmodules file etc. as tracked contents, to help
+   hosting sites protect their customers by preventing malicious
+   contents from spreading.
