This is actually where most of the work went. The fix itself was pretty trivial, but detection during push required a lot of refactoring. And involved many projects: I wrote the patches for Git itself, but others worked on libgit2, JGit, and VSTS.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>A security vulnerability in Git that can lead to arbitrary code execution</title><url>https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/devops/2018/05/29/announcing-the-may-2018-git-security-vulnerability/</url></story>
