+GIT v1.5.1.1 Release Notes (draft)
+==========================
+
+Fixes since v1.5.1
+------------------
+
+* Documentation updates
+
+ - The --left-right option of rev-list and friends is documented.
+
+ - The documentation for cvsimport has been majorly improved.
+
+* Bugfixes
+
+ - "git send-email" produced of References header of unbounded length;
+ fixed this with line-folding.
+
+ - "git archive" to download from remote site should not
+ require you to be in a git repository, but it incorrectly
+ did.
+
+ - "git apply" ignored -p<n> for "diff --git" formatted
+ patches.
+
+ - "git rerere" recorded a conflict that had one side empty
+ (the other side adds) incorrectly; this made merging in the
+ other direction fail to use previously recorded resolution.
+
+ - t4200 test was broken where "wc -l" pads its output with
+ spaces.
+
+ - "git branch -m old new" to rename branch did not work
+ without a configuration file in ".git/config".
+
+ - The sample hook for notification e-mail was misnamed.
+
+ - gitweb did not show type-changing patch correctly in the
+ blobdiff view.
+
+* Performance Tweaks

+GIT v1.5.2 Release Notes (draft)
+========================
+
+Updates since v1.5.1
+--------------------
+
+* New commands and options.
+
+ - "git bisect start" can optionally take a single bad commit and
+ zero or more good commits on the command line.
+
+* Updated behavior of existing commands.
+
+ - "git diff --stat" shows size of preimage and postimage blobs
+ for binary contents. Earlier it only said "Bin".
+
+ - "git lost-found" shows stuff that are unreachable except
+ from reflogs.
+
+ - "git checkout branch^0" now detaches HEAD at the tip commit
+ on the named branch, instead of just switching to the
+ branch (use "git checkout branch" to switch to the branch,
+ as before).
+
+ - "git bisect next" can be used after giving only a bad commit
+ without giving a good one (this starts bisection half-way to
+ the root commit). We used to refuse to operate without a
+ good and a bad commit.
+
+* Builds
+
+ - git-p4import has never been installed; now there is an
+ installation option to do so.
+
+ - gitk and git-gui can be configured out.
+
+ - Generated documentation pages automatically get version
+ information from GIT_VERSION
+
+ - Parallel build with "make -j" descending into subdirectory
+ was fixed.
+
+* Performance Tweaks
+
+ - optimized "git-rev-list --bisect" (hence "git-bisect").
+
+ - optimized "git-add $path" in a large directory, most of
+ whose contents are ignored.
+
+
+Fixes since v1.5.1
+------------------
+
+The following are all in v1.5.1.x series, unless otherwise noted.
+
+* Documentation updates
+
+* Bugfixes
+
+ - Switching branches with "git checkout" refused to work when
+ a path changes from a file to a directory between the
+ current branch and the new branch, in order not to lose
+ possible local changes in the directory that is being turned
+ into a file with the switch. We now allow such a branch
+ switch after making sure that there is no locally modified
+ file nor un-ignored file in the directory. This has not
+ been backported to 1.5.1.x series, as it is rather an
+ intrusive change.
