GIT v1.6.5.2 Release Notes
==========================

Fixes since v1.6.5.1
--------------------

* Installation of templates triggered a bug in busybox when using tar
implementation from it.

* "git add -i" incorrectly ignored paths that are already in the index
if they matched .gitignore patterns.

* "git describe --always" should have produced some output even there
were no tags in the repository, but it didn't.

* "git ls-files" when showing tracked files incorrectly paid attention
to the exclude patterns.

Other minor documentation updates are included.
