+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.
