Subject: [ANNOUNCE] Git v2.1.2

The latest maintenance release Git v2.1.2 is now available at the
usual places.  With this, v2.1.x has all the important fixes that
have been already applied to the 'master' front for the next feature
release.  It also contains some updates to German translation.

The tarballs are found at:

    https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/

Git v2.1.2 Release Notes
========================

 * "git push" over HTTP transport had an artificial limit on number of
   refs that can be pushed imposed by the command line length.

 * When receiving an invalid pack stream that records the same object
   twice, multiple threads got confused due to a race.

 * An attempt to remove the entire tree in the "git fast-import" input
   stream caused it to misbehave.

 * Reachability check (used in "git prune" and friends) did not add a
   detached HEAD as a starting point to traverse objects still in use.

 * "git config --add section.var val" used to lose existing
   section.var whose value was an empty string.

 * "git fsck" failed to report that it found corrupt objects via its
   exit status in some cases.
