+GIT v1.5.2.4 Release Notes
+==========================
+
+Fixes since v1.5.2.3
+--------------------
+
+ * Bugfixes
+
+ - "git-gui" bugfixes, including a handful fixes to run it
+ better on Cygwin/MSYS.
+
+ - "git checkout" failed to switch back and forth between
+ branches, one of which has "frotz -> xyzzy" symlink and
+ file "xyzzy/filfre", while the other one has a file
+ "frotz/filfre".
+
+ - "git prune" used to segfault upon seeing a commit that is
+ referred to by a tree object (aka "subproject").
+
+ - "git diff --name-status --no-index" mishandled an added file.
+
+ - "git apply --reverse --whitespace=warn" still complained
+ about whitespaces that a forward application would have
+ introduced.
+
+ * Documentation Fixes and Updates
+
+ - A handful documentation updates.
