   1 Git 1.7.12.3 Release Notes
   2 ==========================
   3
   4 Fixes since v1.7.12.2
   5 ---------------------
   6
   7  * "git am" mishandled a patch attached as application/octet-stream
   8    (e.g. not text/*); Content-Transfer-Encoding (e.g. base64) was not
   9    honored correctly.
  10
  11  * It was unclear in the documentation for "git blame" that it is
  12    unnecessary for users to use the "--follow" option.
  13
  14  * A repository created with "git clone --single" had its fetch
  15    refspecs set up just like a clone without "--single", leading the
  16    subsequent "git fetch" to slurp all the other branches, defeating
  17    the whole point of specifying "only this branch".
  18
  19  * "git fetch" over http had an old workaround for an unlikely server
  20    misconfiguration; it turns out that this hurts debuggability of the
  21    configuration in general, and has been reverted.
  22
  23  * "git fetch" over http advertised that it supports "deflate", which
  24    is much less common, and did not advertise the more common "gzip" on
  25    its Accept-Encoding header.
  26
  27  * "git receive-pack" (the counterpart to "git push") did not give
  28    progress output while processing objects it received to the puser
  29    when run over the smart-http protocol.
  30
  31  * "git status" honored the ignore=dirty settings in .gitmodules but
  32    "git commit" didn't.
  33
  34 Also contains a handful of documentation updates.
