Git's maintainer documentation defines the version scheme explicitly:
vX.Y.0 are feature releases carrying bugfixes and enhancements in any
area, while vX.Y.Z (Z>0) maintenance releases "contain only bugfixes for
the corresponding vX.Y.0 feature release and earlier maintenance
releases". So upgrades within a major.minor are stable point upgrades per
the OE-Core stable release policy (ref-manual, "Stable Point Release
Upgrades").

  https://docs.yoctoproject.org/dev/ref-manual/release-process.html#stable-point-release-upgrades
  https://github.com/git/git/blob/v2.55.0/Documentation/howto/maintain-git.adoc#L47

Checked recent maintenance releases for feature creep:

  2.44.4 (May 28 2025): CVE fixes only, seven of them, merged up from the
  fixes that appeared in v2.43.7. The release notes contain nothing else.
  2.35.7 (Feb 06 2023): four fixes -- two libcurl portability fixes, and
  two symlink-escape fixes in apply and clone back-merged from older
  maintenance lines.

No 2.55.x point release exists yet, 2.55.0 being the current tip, so this
relies on the documented policy plus the historical pattern above rather
than a same-series point release. The ref-manual admits that basis: a
recipe may qualify on clear historical evidence that a class of bump is
bugfix-only (ref-manual, "Criteria for Qualifying Upstreams").

Already tracked this way on the OE stable branches, counting only bumps
made since each branch forked from master: kirkstone 2.35.2 -> 2.35.7,
five point bumps, and scarthgap 2.44.0 -> 2.44.4, three point bumps.
wrynose ships 2.53.0 as its initial version with no bump yet.
