Backported Security Fixes

[davecarlson]

There hasn't been an update to this package for over one year.

Given this happened today : https://github.blog/2019-12-10-multiple-git-vulnerabilities-in-2-24-and-older/

Can we expect these fixes to be backported ?

This package hasn't been updated in a while because we decided to keep it on the 2.16.x series (more details here). That series hadn't seen an update in over a year, until it did recently for these new vulnerabilities. Thanks for bringing the recent releases to my attention.

To clarify the intent of this package, I've renamed it to git216. I've updated git216 and git222 to their latest respective versions to address the vulnerabilities. Those updates can be found in the ius-testing repositories. I'll promote those to the main repositories next week, or sooner if anyone tests them and reports back that they work as expected.
