Git 2.12 Release Notes
======================
Backward compatibility notes.
* Use of an empty string that is used for 'everything matches' is
still warned and Git asks users to use a more explicit '.' for that
instead. The hope is that existing users will not mind this
change, and eventually the warning can be turned into a hard error,
upgrading the deprecation into removal of this (mis)feature. That
is not scheduled to happen in the upcoming release (yet).
* The historical argument order "git merge <msg> HEAD <commit>..."
has been deprecated for quite some time, and will be removed in the
upcoming release.
Updates since v2.11
-------------------
UI, Workflows & Features
*
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
*
Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
*
Fixes since v2.10
-----------------
Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.9 in the maintenance
track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases'
notes for details).
* We often decide if a session is interactive by checking if the
standard I/O streams are connected to a TTY, but isatty() that
comes with Windows incorrectly returned true if it is used on NUL
(i.e. an equivalent to /dev/null). This has been fixed.
(merge cbb3f3c9b1 js/mingw-isatty later to maint).
* "git svn" did not work well with path components that are "0", and
some configuration variable it uses were not documented.
(merge ea9a93dcc2 ew/svn-fixes later to maint).
* Other minor doc, test and build updates and code cleanups.
