1 Git 2.12 Release Notes

2 ======================

4 Backward compatibility notes.

6 * Use of an empty string that is used for 'everything matches' is

7 still warned and Git asks users to use a more explicit '.' for that

8 instead. The hope is that existing users will not mind this

9 change, and eventually the warning can be turned into a hard error,

10 upgrading the deprecation into removal of this (mis)feature. That

11 is not scheduled to happen in the upcoming release (yet).

13 * The historical argument order "git merge <msg> HEAD <commit>..."

14 has been deprecated for quite some time, and will be removed in the

15 upcoming release.

21 UI, Workflows & Features

40 track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases'
