+GIT v1.5.1.6 Release Notes
+==========================
+
+Fixes since v1.5.1.4
+--------------------
+
+* Bugfixes
+
+  - git-send-email did not understand aliases file for mutt, which
+    allows leading whitespaces.
+
+  - git-format-patch emitted Content-Type and Content-Transfer-Encoding
+    headers for non ASCII contents, but failed to add MIME-Version.
+
+  - git-name-rev had a buffer overrun with a deep history.
+
+  - contributed script import-tars did not get the directory in
+    tar archives interpreted correctly.
+
+  - git-svn was reported to segfault for many people on list and
+    #git; hopefully this has been fixed.
+
+  - git-svn also had a bug to crash svnserve by sending a bad
+    sequence of requests.
+
+  - "git-svn clone" does not try to minimize the URL
+    (i.e. connect to higher level hierarchy) by default, as this
+    can prevent clone to fail if only part of the repository
+    (e.g. 'trunk') is open to public.
+
+  - "git checkout branch^0" did not detach the head when you are
+    already on 'branch'; backported the fix from the 'master'.
+
+  - "git-config section.var" did not correctly work when
+    existing configuration file had both [section] and [section "name"]
+    next to each other.
+
+  - "git clone ../other-directory" was fooled if the current
+    directory $PWD points at is a symbolic link.
+
+  - (build) tree_entry_extract() function was both static inline
+    and extern, which caused trouble compiling with Forte12
+    compilers on Sun.
+
+  - Many many documentation fixes and updates.
