Found a little issue in git version 1.7.9.5 if a file named "-", causing
"git commit" to read from stdin.

(So you must hit ctrl-d or ctrl-c to finish the commit.)

This was fixed by Junio around 4682d85 (diff-index.c: "git diff" has no
need to read blob from the standard input, 2012-06-27), which is
included starting with v1.7.12 and the v1.7.11.3 maint release.  Please
upgrade.

Should upgrade-averse folks stuck on 1.7.10.y (like Debian 7.0, which
is currently in the release candidate stage) take this fix?  Do you
happen to know of any other fixes such people would want?

FYI, the fix referred to in this thread are three-patch series that
forked from 1.7.6.6, so it should be trivial to merge it even to
such an old version.

The topic-branch workflow shines ;-)
