[scl.org] New git package

[Honza Horak]

Yes, they do, if there is good enough reason (security or very important 
fix). We definitely don't include all fixes.

Anyway, if there are reasons to have a newer git SCL, I'm totally not 
against, we can have sclo-git212.. the changes in Fedora SPEC are not 
that big..
