Description: The Git distributed revision control system was updated to version 2.12.0, which brings several fixes and enhancements. - Use of an empty string that is used for 'everything matches' is still warned and Git asks users to use a more explicit '.' for that instead. In the future this warning will be turned into a hard error. - The historical argument order "git merge 'msg' HEAD 'commit'..." has been deprecated for quite some time, and will be removed in a future release. - An ancient script "git relink" has been removed. - The character width table has been updated to match Unicode 9.0.
