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