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.
