This also bumps the stable nixpkgs to 20.09 as of 2020-11-21, because there is some breakage in the git build related to the netrc credentials helper which someone has taken care of in nixpkgs. The stable channel is not used for anything other than git, so this should be fine. Change-Id: I3575a19dab09e1e9556cf8231d717de9890484fb

Git 1.7.12.3 Release Notes
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v1.7.12.2
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
* "git am" mishandled a patch attached as application/octet-stream
|
|
(e.g. not text/*); Content-Transfer-Encoding (e.g. base64) was not
|
|
honored correctly.
|
|
|
|
* It was unclear in the documentation for "git blame" that it is
|
|
unnecessary for users to use the "--follow" option.
|
|
|
|
* A repository created with "git clone --single" had its fetch
|
|
refspecs set up just like a clone without "--single", leading the
|
|
subsequent "git fetch" to slurp all the other branches, defeating
|
|
the whole point of specifying "only this branch".
|
|
|
|
* "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 receive-pack" (the counterpart to "git push") did not give
|
|
progress output while processing objects it received to the user
|
|
when run over the smart-http protocol.
|
|
|
|
* "git status" honored the ignore=dirty settings in .gitmodules but
|
|
"git commit" didn't.
|
|
|
|
Also contains a handful of documentation updates.
