Greetings,
I am unable to find any documentation regarding the life cycle regarding the
various versions of git. Is only the current version supported? What about
older minor/major versions? At what point does a version go EOL? Currently,
is only 2.1.2 supported? I would entertain the thought on creating a
RELEASES document if the information is provided.
The development process is outlined at [0]. Usually there's just one
supported release (at the moment, 2.1.2), although I have occasionally
seen releases out of order (from different branches).
Having said that, Git developers try very hard not to break things, so
many people are fine using an older version, such as the ones their
distros provide. It is considered courteous to try the latest version
before reporting a bug, however.

Hey Brian,
Thanks for the clarification. Someone in IRC mentioned the
maintain-git.txt file. I skimmed it and searched for some keywords, but
was unable to find the information I needed.
Do you feel a RELEASES document is needed or is the maintain-git.txt
file sufficient?
