+GIT v1.6.2.4 Release Notes
+==========================
+
+Fixes since v1.6.2.3
+--------------------
+
+* The configuration parser had a buffer overflow while parsing an overlong
+ value.
+
+* "git-checkout <tree-ish> <submodule>" did not update the index entry at
+ the named path; it now does.
+
+* "git init" segfaulted when given an overlong template location via
+ the --template= option.
+
+* "git-ls-tree" and "git-diff-tree" used a pathspec correctly when
+ deciding to descend into a subdirectory but they did not match the
+ individual paths correctly. This caused pathspecs "abc/d ab" to match
+ "abc/0" ("abc/d" made them decide to descend into the directory "abc/",
+ and then "ab" incorrectly matched "abc/0" when it shouldn't).
+
+* "git-merge-recursive" was broken when a submodule entry was involved in
+ a criss-cross merge situation.
+
+Many small documentation updates are included as well.
