The following public repositories all have a copy of the 'v2.4.6' tag and the 'maint' branch that the tag points at:

Git v2.4.6 Release Notes ========================

Fixes since v2.4.5 ------------------

 * "git fetch --depth=<depth>" and "git clone --depth=<depth>" issued
   a shallow transfer request even to an upload-pack that does not
   support the capability.
 * "git fsck" used to ignore missing or invalid objects recorded in reflog.
 * The tcsh completion writes a bash scriptlet but that would have
   failed for users with noclobber set.
 * Recent Mac OS X updates breaks the logic to detect that the machine
   is on the AC power in the sample pre-auto-gc script.
 * "git format-patch --ignore-if-upstream A..B" did not like to be fed
   tags as boundary commits.

Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code clean-ups.
