+------------------
+
+ * An corrupt pack could make codepath to read objects into an
+ infinite loop.
+
+ * Download throughput display was always shown in KiB/s but on fast links
+ it is more appropriate to show it in MiB/s.
+
+ * "git grep -f filename" used uninitialized variable and segfaulted.
+
+ * "git clone -b branch" gave a wrong commit object name to post-checkout
+ hook.
+
+ * "git pull" over http did not work on msys.
+
+Other minor documentation updates are included.
