Upstream has a significantly newer version (2.12) available than what is in Fedora: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/magit/magit/master/Documentation/RelNotes/2.12.0.txt It's likely going to be harder making this old version work with newer emacs going forward, so it's a good idea to update. Thanks!
This message is a reminder that Fedora 28 is nearing its end of life. On 2019-May-28 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 28.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 28 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

*Yikes.* Please orphan this package if you're not going to maintain it.
Bad bot, no botsnack.
Upstream is at 2.90.1. Version 1.2.2 has been obsolete for more than five years. Shipping such an old version is worse than not shipping anything, in my opinion. Please update, orphan or retire this package.
This package has changed maintainer in the Fedora. Reassigning to the new maintainer of this component.
magit 2.4.1 has just landed Fedora Rawhide. That's the latest magit version that I was able to package using current packages on Fedora. I'm starting to package the other requirements so that Fedora can get magit 2.90.1.
A newer emacs-magit just landed on Fedora Rawhide for Fedora 34. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2021-ea002d0f27 Tests and comments are welcome!
Wow
