The clone will fail with\nan error message. The remedy is to call `git lfs pull` in the fresh clone.\n\nNew Features\n\n  * Comes with Git v2.45.1.\n\nBug Fixes\n\n  * CVE-2024-32002: Recursive clones on case-insensitive filesystems\n    that support symbolic links are susceptible to case confusion that\n    can be exploited to execute just-cloned code during the clone\n    operation.\n  * CVE-2024-32004: Repositories can be configured to execute arbitrary\n    code during local clones. To address this, the ownership checks\n    introduced in v2.30.3 are now extended to cover cloning local\n    repositories.\n  * CVE-2024-32020: Local clones may end up hardlinking files into the\n    target repository's object database when source and target\n    repository reside on the same disk. If the source repository is\n    owned by a different user, then those hardlinked files may be\n    rewritten at any point in time by the untrusted user.\n  * CVE-2024-32021: When cloning a local source repository that\n    contains symlinks via the filesystem, Git may create hardlinks to\n    arbitrary user-readable files on the same filesystem as the target\n    repository in the objects/ directory.\n  * CVE-2024-32465: It is supposed to be safe to clone untrusted\n    repositories, even those unpacked from zip archives or tarballs\n    originating from untrusted sources, but Git can be tricked to run\n    arbitrary code as part of the clone.\n  * Defense-in-depth: submodule: require the submodule path to contain\n    directories only.\n  * Defense-in-depth: clone: when symbolic links collide with\n    directories, keep the latter.\n  * Defense-in-depth: clone: prevent hooks from running during a clone.\n  * Defense-in-depth: core.hooksPath: add some protection while\n    cloning.\n  * Defense-in-depth: fsck: warn about symlink pointing inside a\n    gitdir.\n  * Various fix-ups on HTTP tests.\n  * HTTP Header redaction code has been adjusted for a newer version of\n    cURL library that shows its traces differently from earlier\n    versions.\n  * Fix was added to work around a regression in libcURL 8.7.0 (which\n    has already been fixed in their tip of the tree).\n  * Replace macos-12 used at GitHub CI with macos-13.\n  * ci(linux-asan/linux-ubsan): let's save some time\n  * Tests with LSan from time to time seem to emit harmless message\n    that makes our tests unnecessarily flakey; we work it around by\n    filtering the uninteresting output.\n  * Update GitHub Actions jobs to avoid warnings against using\n    deprecated version of Node.js.\n\nGit-2.45.1-64-bit.exe | 1b2b58fb516495feb70353aa91da230be0a2b4aa01acc3bc047ee1fe4846bc4e\nGit-2.45.1-32-bit.exe | f46c2f013b6767fc5da15783643d7243f037cbdf6e0b2779ad157ab0741318ca\nPortableGit-2.45.1-64-bit.7z.exe | f4be1f923e9cc1ee0cb09e99f0e90cf254b530bb622d12064361563307e2f505\nPortableGit-2.45.1-32-bit.7z.exe | 43d0f03af3d5a12a60cab82a02f386896ed2d61af93496fa8110f2dac83ebee1\nMinGit-2.45.1-64-bit.zip | f7ba0e2acdc603cf8893b446f6871c869b7644b88a1116b00d6b30fb30f18c74\nMinGit-2.45.1-32-bit.zip | 9c1089f13f5873190ac9473375126ba697df6773188f01ca2d6a0cf920c44287\nMinGit-2.45.1-busybox-64-bit.zip | b9151e9ff31d4cbf0b45c5dad1d45e115c3942bdf3822cf0729efe54d42d909f\nMinGit-2.45.1-busybox-32-bit.zip | 44c61ff4706c8db83009670bd6a67036f6ea5e0dc3c901bc1d37d7649879ece4\nGit-2.45.1-64-bit.tar.bz2 | 3314914e47c080e80ddcbc543e374890bdfe4d60e9cd7d0faa996d3d0a174a05\nGit-2.45.1-32-bit.tar.bz2 | e5d04b0228fda44f50f9d52730b72c2ad5773faebe12b54b009e3952f5b19f2b\n\nCiao,\nJohannes\n"}]}
