-Git v1.8.5.6 Release Notes
-==========================
-
-Fixes since v1.8.5.5
---------------------
-
- * We used to allow committing a path ".Git/config" with Git that is
-   running on a case sensitive filesystem, but an attempt to check out
-   such a path with Git that runs on a case insensitive filesystem
-   would have clobbered ".git/config", which is definitely not what
-   the user would have expected.  Git now prevents you from tracking
-   a path with ".Git" (in any case combination) as a path component.
-
- * On Windows, certain path components that are different from ".git"
-   are mapped to ".git", e.g. "git~1/config" is treated as if it were
-   ".git/config".  HFS+ has a similar issue, where certain unicode
-   codepoints are ignored, e.g. ".g\u200cit/config" is treated as if
-   it were ".git/config".  Pathnames with these potential issues are
-   rejected on the affected systems.  Git on systems that are not
-   affected by this issue (e.g. Linux) can also be configured to
-   reject them to ensure cross platform interoperability of the hosted
-   projects.
-
- * "git fsck" notices a tree object that records such a path that can
-   be confused with ".git", and with receive.fsckObjects configuration
-   set to true, an attempt to "git push" such a tree object will be
-   rejected.  Such a path may not be a problem on a well behaving
-   filesystem but in order to protect those on HFS+ and on case
-   insensitive filesystems, this check is enabled on all platforms.
-
-A big "thanks!" for bringing this issue to us goes to our friends in
-the Mercurial land, namely, Matt Mackall and Augie Fackler.
-
-Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code clean-ups.
