+Git v1.8.4.3 Release Notes
+========================
+
+Fixes since v1.8.4.2
+--------------------
+
+ * "git rev-list --objects ^v1.0^ v1.0" gave v1.0 tag itself in the
+ output, but "git rev-list --objects v1.0^..v1.0" did not.
+
+ * The fall-back parsing of commit objects with broken author or
+ committer lines were less robust than ideal in picking up the
+ timestamps.
+
+ * Bash prompting code to deal with an SVN remote as an upstream
+ were coded in a way not supported by older Bash versions (3.x).
+
+ * "git checkout topic", when there is not yet a local "topic" branch
+ but there is a unique remote-tracking branch for a remote "topic"
+ branch, pretended as if "git checkout -t -b topic remote/$r/topic"
+ (for that unique remote $r) was run. This hack however was not
+ implemented for "git checkout topic --".
+
+ * Coloring around octopus merges in "log --graph" output was screwy.
+
+ * We did not generate HTML version of documentation to "git subtree"
+ in contrib/.
+
+ * The synopsis section of "git unpack-objects" documentation has been
+ clarified a bit.
+
+ * An ancient How-To on serving Git repositories on an HTTP server
+ lacked a warning that it has been mostly superseded with more
+ modern way.
+
+Also contains a handful of trivial code clean-ups, documentation
+updates, updates to the test suite, etc.

How to setup Git server over http
=================================
+NOTE: This document is from 2006. A lot has happened since then, and this

+Almost everyone else should instead look at linkgit:git-http-backend[1].

Since Apache is one of those packages people like to compile
themselves while others prefer the bureaucrat's dream Debian, it is
impossible to give guidelines which will work for everyone. Just send
