+GIT v1.5.1 Release Notes
+========================
+
+Updates since v1.5.0
+--------------------
+
+* Deprecated commands and options.
+
+ - git-diff-stages and git-resolve have been removed.
+
+* New commands and options.
+
+ - "git log" and friends take --reverse. This makes output
+ that typically goes reverse order in chronological order.
+ "git shortlog" usually lists commits in chronological order,
+ but with "--reverse", they are shown in reverse
+ chronological order.
+
+ - "git diff" learned --ignore-space-at-eol. This is a weaker
+ form of --ignore-space-change.
+
+ - "git name-rev" learned --refs=<pattern>, to limit the tags
+ used for naming the given revisions only to the ones
+ matching the given pattern.
+
+* Updated behaviour of existing commands.
+
+ - "git diff" outputs a trailing HT when pathnames have embedded
+ SP on +++/--- header lines, in order to help "GNU patch" to
+ parse its output. "git apply" was already updated to accept
+ this modified output format since ce74618d (Sep 22, 2006).
+
+* Hooks
+
+ - The sample update hook to show how to send out notification
+ e-mail was updated to show only new commits that appeared in
+ the repository. Earlier, it showed new commits that appeared
+ on the branch.
