Yes and no, for v2.20.* it was probably sometime around 2 years ago (see below). The Git project doesn't really do LTS or active support for anything except the current or recent release(s), if there are issues discovered in older releases they're fixed in newer ones, not in older "maintenance tracks". For bugs discovered in older releases they'll almost always only be fixed in the code that'll become the next release. For security fixes we do change some older releases, but usually only the ones from the last 1-2 years. E.g. there was a security release recently which included point-releases for versions as old as 2.30.*: https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqqv8s2fefi.fsf@gitster.g/; So that "2 years" above is just an inference of mine, judging from the last security release. How long that Window is is up to Junio's discretion, you can find some others past such releases at: https://lore.kernel.org/git/?q=s%3AANNOUNCE+s%3A%22and+others%22+f%3Agitster%40pobox.com Note that this only goes for the git project. If you're e.g. using some well-known vendors of LTS software they may themselves commit to backporting patches to git and other software within their LTS window (with mixed results). I hope that helps!
