1.7.12.4

Git 1.7.12.4 Release Notes ==========================

Fixes since v1.7.12.3 ---------------------

• "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.
