+- updated to version 1.7.12.4:
+
+     * "git fetch" over the dumb-http revision walker could segfault when
+       curl's multi interface was used.
+
+     * It was possible to give specific paths for "asciidoc" and other
+       tools in the documentation toolchain, but not for "xmlto".
+
+     * "gitweb" did not give the correct committer timezone in its feed
+       output due to a typo.
+
+     * The "-Xours" (and similarly -Xtheirs) backend option to "git
+       merge -s recursive" was ignored for binary files.  Now it is
+       honored.
+
+     * The "binary" synthetic attribute made "diff" to treat the path as
+       binary, but not "merge".
+
+    Also contains many documentation updates.
