I'm supercautious and use:

    git push libvirt.org v0.9.12-maint:v0.9.12-maint v0.9.12.2

It's here:

    http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commit;h=ea095a4aac5ef5166baaa6a98f352651defca5d9

The issue is that (due to an error on my end caused by the failing make
distcheck fixed by 38653834505eaf9d6d6221d90a3e61d5d3d95dbc) 0.9.12.1
wasn't cut from the branch head but from
ea095a4aac5ef5166baaa6a98f352651defca5d9. Now that we have that fixed I
released 0.9.12.2 and everything should be back to normal (and we
hopefully don't need another 0.9.12.x soonish).
Cheers,
