Hi Gerrit and Anders,

v1.7.8-rc3 fixes a security hole for installations that enable remote
update-archive access (regression introduced by v1.7.8-rc1~12^2~1,
upload-archive: use start_command instead of fork, 2011-10-24).
[1] has details.

Luckily sid is not affected.  I have prepared an upload for
experimental at

 git://git.debian.org/~jrnieder-guest/git.git debian-experimental

(commit bd4c77e0, candidate+patches at b5a4997e).  This is not too
urgent because installing experimental git in a public-facing
installation with --enable=upload-archive would be a little insane.

Hopefully it can save you time.

Sincerely,
Jonathan
