-Git v2.12.2 Release Notes
-=========================
-
-Fixes since v2.12.1
--------------------
-
- * "git status --porcelain" is supposed to give a stable output, but a
-   few strings were left as translatable by mistake.
-
- * "Dumb http" transport used to misparse a nonsense http-alternates
-   response, which has been fixed.
-
- * "git diff --quiet" relies on the size field in diff_filespec to be
-   correctly populated, but diff_populate_filespec() helper function
-   made an incorrect short-cut when asked only to populate the size
-   field for paths that need to go through convert_to_git() (e.g. CRLF
-   conversion).
-
- * There is no need for Python only to give a few messages to the
-   standard error stream, but we somehow did.
-
- * A leak in a codepath to read from a packed object in (rare) cases
-   has been plugged.
-
- * "git upload-pack", which is a counter-part of "git fetch", did not
-   report a request for a ref that was not advertised as invalid.
-   This is generally not a problem (because "git fetch" will stop
-   before making such a request), but is the right thing to do.
-
- * A "gc.log" file left by a backgrounded "gc --auto" disables further
-   automatic gc; it has been taught to run at least once a day (by
-   default) by ignoring a stale "gc.log" file that is too old.
-
- * "git remote rm X", when a branch has remote X configured as the
-   value of its branch.*.remote, tried to remove branch.*.remote and
-   branch.*.merge and failed if either is unset.
-
- * A caller of tempfile API that uses stdio interface to write to
-   files may ignore errors while writing, which is detected when
-   tempfile is closed (with a call to ferror()).  By that time, the
-   original errno that may have told us what went wrong is likely to
-   be long gone and was overwritten by an irrelevant value.
-   close_tempfile() now resets errno to EIO to make errno at least
-   predictable.
-
- * "git show-branch" expected there were only very short branch names
-   in the repository and used a fixed-length buffer to hold them
-   without checking for overflow.
-
- * The code that parses header fields in the commit object has been
-   updated for (micro)performance and code hygiene.
-
- * A test that creates a confusing branch whose name is HEAD has been
-   corrected not to do so.
-
- * "Cc:" on the trailer part does not have to conform to RFC strictly,
-   unlike in the e-mail header.  "git send-email" has been updated to
-   ignore anything after '>' when picking addresses, to allow non-address
-   cruft like " # stable 4.4" after the address.
-
- * "git push" had a handful of codepaths that could lead to a deadlock
-   when unexpected error happened, which has been fixed.
-
- * Code to read submodule.<name>.ignore config did not state the
-   variable name correctly when giving an error message diagnosing
-   misconfiguration.
-
- * "git ls-remote" and "git archive --remote" are designed to work
-   without being in a directory under Git's control.  However, recent
-   updates revealed that we randomly look into a directory called
-   .git/ without actually doing necessary set-up when working in a
-   repository.  Stop doing so.
-
- * The code to parse the command line "git grep <patterns>... <rev>
-   [[--] <pathspec>...]" has been cleaned up, and a handful of bugs
-   have been fixed (e.g. we used to check "--" if it is a rev).
-
- * The code to parse "git -c VAR=VAL cmd" and set configuration
-   variable for the duration of cmd had two small bugs, which have
-   been fixed.
-   This supersedes jc/config-case-cmdline topic that has been discarded.
-
-Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
