+GIT v1.5.4.3 Release Notes
+==========================
+
+Fixes since v1.5.4.2
+--------------------
+
+ * RPM spec used to pull in everything with 'git'. This has been
+ changed so that 'git' package contains just the core parts,
+ and we now supply 'git-all' metapackage to slurp in everything.
+ This should match end user's expectation better.
+
+ * When some refs failed to update, git-push reported "failure"
+ which was unclear if some other refs were updated or all of
+ them failed atomically (the answer is the former). Reworded
+ the message to clarify this.
+
+ * "git clone" from a repository whose HEAD was misconfigured
+ did not set up the remote properly. Now it tries to do
+ better.
+
+ * Updated git-push documentation to clarify what "matching"
+ means, in order to reduce user confusion.
+
+ * Updated git-add documentation to clarify "add -u" operates in
+ the current subdirectory you are in, just like other commands.
+
+ * git-gui updates to work on OSX and Windows better.

+ * "git cvsexportcommit -w $cvsdir" misbehaved when GIT_DIR is set to a

+ * "git http-push" had an invalid memory access that could lead it to
+ segfault.
+
+ * When "git rebase -i" gave control back to the user for a commit that is
+ marked to be edited, it just said "modify it with commit --amend",
+ without saying what to do to continue after modifying it. Give an
+ explicit instruction to run "rebase --continue" to be more helpful.
+
+ * "git send-email" in 1.5.4.3 issued a bogus empty In-Reply-To: header.
+
+Also included are a handful documentation updates.
