+GIT v1.5.6.2 Release Notes
+==========================
+
+Futureproof
+-----------
+
+ * "git-shell" accepts requests without a dash between "git" and
+ subcommand name (e.g. "git upload-pack") which the newer client will
+ start to make sometime in the future.
+
+Fixes since v1.5.6.1
+--------------------
+
+* Optimization for a large import via "git-svn" introduced in v1.5.6 had a
+ serious memory and temporary file leak, which made it unusable for
+ moderately large import.
+
+* "git-svn" mangled remote nickname used in the configuration file
+ unnecessarily.
+
+* "git diff --check" did not report the result via its exit status
+ reliably.
+
+* "git show" segfaulted when an annotated tag that points at another
+ annotated tag was given to it.
