1Git 1.7.12.3 Release Notes 2========================== 3 4Fixes 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 34Also contains a handful of documentation updates.
