+- updated to version 1.7.12.3:
+
+     * "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 puser
+       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.
