+Git v2.12.1 Release Notes
+=========================
+
+Fixes since v2.12
+-----------------
+
+ * Reduce authentication round-trip over HTTP when the server supports
+ just a single authentication method. This also improves the
+ behaviour when Git is misconfigured to enable http.emptyAuth
+ against a server that does not authenticate without a username
+ (i.e. not using Kerberos etc., which makes http.emptyAuth
+ pointless).
+
+ * Windows port wants to use OpenSSL's implementation of SHA-1
+ routines, so let them.
+
+ * Add 32-bit Linux variant to the set of platforms to be tested with
+ Travis CI.
+
+ * When a redirected http transport gets an error during the
+ redirected request, we ignored the error we got from the server,
+ and ended up giving a not-so-useful error message.
+
+ * The patch subcommand of "git add -i" was meant to have paths
+ selection prompt just like other subcommand, unlike "git add -p"
+ directly jumps to hunk selection. Recently, this was broken and
+ "add -i" lost the paths selection dialog, but it now has been
+ fixed.
+
+ * Git v2.12 was shipped with an embarrassing breakage where various
+ operations that verify paths given from the user stopped dying when
+ seeing an issue, and instead later triggering segfault.
+
+ * The code to parse "git log -L..." command line was buggy when there
+ are many ranges specified with -L; overrun of the allocated buffer
+ has been fixed.
+
+ * The command-line parsing of "git log -L" copied internal data
+ structures using incorrect size on ILP32 systems.
+
+Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.

+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.

+Git v2.12.3 Release Notes
+=========================
+
+Fixes since v2.12.2
+-------------------
+
+ * The "parse_config_key()" API function has been cleaned up.
+
+ * An helper function to make it easier to append the result from
+ real_path() to a strbuf has been added.
+
+ * The t/perf performance test suite was not prepared to test not so
+ old versions of Git, but now it covers versions of Git that are not
+ so ancient.
+
+ * Picking two versions of Git and running tests to make sure the
+ older one and the newer one interoperate happily has now become
+ possible.
+
+ * Teach the "debug" helper used in the test framework that allows a
+ command to run under "gdb" to make the session interactive.
+
+ * "git repack --depth=<n>" for a long time busted the specified depth
+ when reusing delta from existing packs. This has been corrected.
+
+ * user.email that consists of only cruft chars should consistently
+ error out, but didn't.
+
+ * A few tests were run conditionally under (rare) conditions where
+ they cannot be run (like running cvs tests under 'root' account).
+
+ * "git branch @" created refs/heads/@ as a branch, and in general the
+ code that handled @{-1} and @{upstream} was a bit too loose in
+ disambiguating.
+
+ * "git fetch" that requests a commit by object name, when the other
+ side does not allow such an request, failed without much
+ explanation.
+
+ * "git filter-branch --prune-empty" drops a single-parent commit that
+ becomes a no-op, but did not drop a root commit whose tree is empty.
+
+ * Recent versions of Git treats http alternates (used in dumb http
+ transport) just like HTTP redirects and requires the client to
+ enable following it, due to security concerns. But we forgot to
+ give a warning when we decide not to honor the alternates.
+
+ * NO_PTHREADS build has been broken for some time; now fixed.
+
+ * Fix for potential segv introduced in v2.11.0 and later (also
+ v2.10.2).
+
+ * A few unterminated here documents in tests were fixed, which in
+ turn revealed incorrect expectations the tests make. These tests
+ have been updated.
+
+Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.

* Documentation for "git ls-files" did not refer to core.quotePath.
+ * The experimental "split index" feature has gained a few
+ configuration variables to make it easier to use.
+
+ * From a working tree of a repository, a new option of "rev-parse"
+ lets you ask if the repository is used as a submodule of another
+ project, and where the root level of the working tree of that
+ project (i.e. your superproject) is.
+
+ * The pathspec mechanism learned to further limit the paths that
+ match the pattern to those that have specified attributes attached
+ via the gitattributes mechanism.
+
+ * Our source code has used the SHA1_HEADER cpp macro after "#include"
+ in the C code to switch among the SHA-1 implementations. Instead,
+ list the exact header file names and switch among implementations
+ using "#ifdef BLK_SHA1/#include "block-sha1/sha1.h"/.../#endif";
+ this helps some IDE tools.
+
+ * The start-up sequence of "git" needs to figure out some configured
+ settings before it finds and set itself up in the location of the
+ repository and was quite messy due to its "chicken-and-egg" nature.
+ The code has been restructured.
+
+ * The command line prompt (in contrib/) learned a new 'tag' style
+ that can be specified with GIT_PS1_DESCRIBE_STYLE, to describe a
+ detached HEAD with "git describe --tags".
+
+ * The configuration file learned a new "includeIf.<condition>.path"
+ that includes the contents of the given path only when the
+ condition holds. This allows you to say "include this work-related
+ bit only in the repositories under my ~/work/ directory".
+
+ * Recent update to "rebase -i" started showing a message that is not
+ a warning with "warning:" prefix by mistake. This has been fixed.
+
+ * Recently we started passing the "--push-options" through the
+ external remote helper interface; now the "smart HTTP" remote
+ helper understands what to do with the passed information.
+
+ * "git describe --dirty" dies when it cannot be determined if the
+ state in the working tree matches that of HEAD (e.g. broken
+ repository or broken submodule). The command learned a new option
+ "git describe --broken" to give "$name-broken" (where $name is the
+ description of HEAD) in such a case.
+
+ * "git checkout" is taught the "--recurse-submodules" option.
+
+ * Recent enhancement to "git stash push" command to support pathspec
+ to allow only a subset of working tree changes to be stashed away
+ was found to be too chatty and exposed the internal implementation
+ detail (e.g. when it uses reset to match the index to HEAD before
+ doing other things, output from reset seeped out). These, and
+ other chattyness has been fixed.
+
+ * "git merge <message> HEAD <commit>" syntax that has been deprecated
+ since October 2007 has been removed.
+
+ * The refs completion for large number of refs has been sped up,
+ partly by giving up disambiguating ambiguous refs and partly by
+ eliminating most of the shell processing between 'git for-each-ref'
+ and 'ls-remote' and Bash's completion facility.
+
+ * On many keyboards, typing "@{" involves holding down SHIFT key and
+ one can easily end up with "@{Up..." when typing "@{upstream}". As
+ the upstream/push keywords do not appear anywhere else in the syntax,
+ we can safely accept them case insensitively without introducing
+ ambiguity or confusion to solve this.
+
+ * "git tag/branch/for-each-ref" family of commands long allowed to
+ filter the refs by "--contains X" (show only the refs that are
+ descendants of X), "--merged X" (show only the refs that are
+ ancestors of X), "--no-merged X" (show only the refs that are not
+ ancestors of X). One curious omission, "--no-contains X" (show
+ only the refs that are not descendants of X) has been added to
+ them.
+
+ * The default behaviour of "git log" in an interactive session has
+ been changed to enable "--decorate".
