-Git v2.5.2 Release Notes
-========================
-
-Fixes since v2.5.1
-------------------
-
- * "git init empty && git -C empty log" said "bad default revision 'HEAD'",
-   which was found to be a bit confusing to new users.
-
- * The "interpret-trailers" helper mistook a multi-paragraph title of
-   a commit log message with a colon in it as the end of the trailer
-   block.
-
- * When re-priming the cache-tree opportunistically while committing
-   the in-core index as-is, we mistakenly invalidated the in-core
-   index too aggressively, causing the experimental split-index code
-   to unnecessarily rewrite the on-disk index file(s).
-
- * "git archive" did not use zip64 extension when creating an archive
-   with more than 64k entries, which nobody should need, right ;-)?
-
- * The code in "multiple-worktree" support that attempted to recover
-   from an inconsistent state updated an incorrect file.
-
- * "git rev-list" does not take "--notes" option, but did not complain
-   when one is given.
-
- * Because the configuration system does not allow "alias.0foo" and
-   "pager.0foo" as the configuration key, the user cannot use '0foo'
-   as a custom command name anyway, but "git 0foo" tried to look these
-   keys up and emitted useless warnings before saying '0foo is not a
-   git command'.  These warning messages have been squelched.
-
- * We recently rewrote one of the build scripts in Perl, which made it
-   necessary to have Perl to build Git.  Reduced Perl dependency by
-   rewriting it again using sed.
-
- * t1509 test that requires a dedicated VM environment had some
-   bitrot, which has been corrected.
-
- * strbuf_read() used to have one extra iteration (and an unnecessary
-   strbuf_grow() of 8kB), which was eliminated.
-
- * The codepath to produce error messages had a hard-coded limit to
-   the size of the message, primarily to avoid memory allocation while
-   calling die().
-
- * When trying to see that an object does not exist, a state errno
-   leaked from our "first try to open a packfile with O_NOATIME and
-   then if it fails retry without it" logic on a system that refuses
-   O_NOATIME.  This confused us and caused us to die, saying that the
-   packfile is unreadable, when we should have just reported that the
-   object does not exist in that packfile to the caller.
-
- * An off-by-one error made "git remote" to mishandle a remote with a
-   single letter nickname.
-
- * A handful of codepaths that used to use fixed-sized arrays to hold
-   pathnames have been corrected to use strbuf and other mechanisms to
-   allow longer pathnames without fearing overflows.
-
-Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code
-clean-ups.
