Git 1.7.12.3 Release Notes

==========================

Fixes since v1.7.12.2

---------------------

* "git fetch" over http had an old workaround for an unlikely server

misconfiguration; it turns out that this hurts debuggability of the

configuration in general, and has been reverted.

* "git fetch" over http advertised that it supports "deflate", which

is much less common, and did not advertise the more common "gzip" on

its Accept-Encoding header.

* "git status" honored the ignore=dirty settings in .gitmodules but

"git commit" didn't.

Also contains a handful of documentation updates.
