Hmm. Is this true?
I was just flipping through some old topics of mine, and I noticed that
the final patch of jk/version-string never got applied to the topic
branch. It was posted here:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/199059
and you picked up the other patches in the series, but not that one. So
I think it was just a simple mistake.
I've been running with it locally for 2 months and haven't seen any
problem. Unfortunately it's a bit too non-trivial to be appropriate for
1.7.12 at this point in the cycle, so I guess we will have to let it
cook in the next iteration.
Here's a repost for convenience.

Subject: [PATCH] include agent identifier in capability string
Instead of having the client advertise a particular version
number in the git protocol, we have managed extensions and
backwards compatibility by having clients and servers
advertise capabilities that they support. This is far more
robust than having each side consult a table of
known versions, and provides sufficient information for the
protocol interaction to complete.
However, it does not allow servers to keep statistics on
which client versions are being used. This information is
not necessary to complete the network request (the
capabilities provide enough information for that), but it
may be helpful to conduct a general survey of client
versions in use.
We already send the client version in the user-agent header
for http requests; adding it here allows us to gather
similar statistics for non-http requests.

The release tarballs are found at: http://code.google.com/p/git-core/downloads/list and their SHA-1 checksums are: 09016e819a69b49090756e9bc5c97a4df25c2f78 git-1.7.12.rc0.tar.gz e85ad0780ff81eacdb05a10762060812bc9367dd git-htmldocs-1.7.12.rc0.tar.gz b641a9664c333518ede3b1d8b67d84d18f5b0e14 git-manpages-1.7.12.rc0.tar.gz Also the following public repositories all have a copy of the v1.7.12-rc0 tag and the master branch that the tag points at: url = git://repo.or.cz/alt-git.git url = https://code.google.com/p/git-core/ url = git://git.sourceforge.jp/gitroot/git-core/git.git url = git://git-core.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/git-core/git-core url = https://github.com/gitster/git Git v1.7.12 Release Notes (draft) = Updates since v1.7.11 - UI, Workflows Features * Git can be told to normalize pathnames it read from readdir(3) and all arguments it got from the command line into precomposed UTF-8 (assuming that they come as decomposed UTF-8), in order to work around issues on Mac OS. I think there still are other places that need conversion (e.g. paths that are read from stdin for some commands), but this should be a good first step in the right direction. * Per-user $HOME/.gitconfig file can optionally be stored in $HOME/.config/git/config instead, which is in line with XDG. * The value of core.attributesfile and core.excludesfile default to $HOME/.config/attributes and $HOME/.config/ignore respectively when these files exist. * Logic to disambiguate abbreviated object names have been taught to take advantage of object types that are expected in the context, e.g. XX in the git describe output v1.2.3-gXX must be a commit object, not a blob nor a tree. This will help us prolong the lifetime of abbreviated object names. * git apply learned to wiggle the base version and perform three-way merge when a patch does not exactly apply to the version you have. * Scripted Porcelain writers now have access to the credential API via the git credential plumbing command. * git help used to always default to man format even on platforms where man viewer is not widely available. * git clone --local $path started its life as an experiment to optionally use link/copy when cloning a repository on the disk, but we didn't deprecate it after we made the option a no-op to always use the optimization. The command learned --no-local option to turn this off, as a more explicit alternative over use of file:// URL. * git fetch and friends used to say remote side hung up unexpectedly when they failed to get response they expect from the other side, but one common reason why they don't get expected response is that the remote repository does not exist or cannot be read. The error message in this case was updated to give better hints to the user. * git native protocol agents learned to show software version over the wire, so that the server log can be examined to see the vintage distribution of clients. * git help -w $cmd can show HTML version of documentation for git-$cmd by setting help.htmlpath to somewhere other than the default location where the build procedure installs them locally; the variable can even point at a http:// URL. * git rebase [-i] --root $tip can now be used to rewrite all the history leading to $tip down to the root commit. * git rebase -i learned -x cmd to insert exec cmd after each commit in the resulting history. * git status gives finer classification to various states of paths in conflicted state and offer advice messages in its output. * git submodule learned to deal with nested submodule structure where a module is contained within a module whose origin is specified as a relative URL to its superproject's origin. * A rather heavy-ish git completion script has been split to create a separate git prompting script, to help lazy-autoloading of the completion part while making prompting part always available. * gitweb pays attention to various forms of credits that are similar to Signed-off-by: lines in the commit objects and highlights them accordingly. Foreign Interface * mediawiki remote helper (in contrib/) learned to handle file attachments. * git p4 now uses Jobs: and p4 move when appropriate. * vcs-svn has been updated to clean-up compilation, lift 32-bit limitations, etc. Performance, Internal Implementation, etc. (please report possible regressions) * Some tests showed false failures caused by a bug in ecryptofs. * We no longer use AsciiDoc7 syntax in our documentation and favor a more modern style. * git am --rebasing codepath was taught to grab authorship, log message and the patch text directly out of existing commits. This will help rebasing commits that have
