+GIT v1.5.6.3 Release Notes
+==========================
+
+Fixes since v1.5.6.2
+--------------------
+
+* Setting core.sharedrepository to traditional "true" value was supposed to make
+ the repository group writable but should not affect permission for others.
+ However, since 1.5.6, it was broken to drop permission for others when umask is
+ 022, making the repository unreadable by others.
+
+* Setting GIT_TRACE will report spawning of external process via run_command().
+
+* Using an object with very deep delta chain pinned memory needed for extracting
+ intermediate base objects unnecessarily long, leading to excess memory usage.
+
+* Bash completion script did not notice '--' marker on the command
+ line and tried the relatively slow "ref completion" even when
+ completing arguments after one.
+
+* Registering a non-empty blob racily and then truncating the working
+ tree file for it confused "racy-git avoidance" logic into thinking
+ that the path is now unchanged.
+
+* The section that describes attributes related to git-archive were placed
+ in a wrong place in the gitattributes(5) manual page.
+
+* "git am" was not helpful to the users when it detected that the committer
+ information is not set up properly yet.
+
+* "git clone" had a leftover debugging fprintf().
+
+* "git clone -q" was not quiet enough as it used to and gave object count
+ and progress reports.
+
+* "git clone" marked downloaded packfile with .keep; this could be a
+ good thing if the remote side is well packed but otherwise not,
+ especially for a project that is not really big.
+
+* "git daemon" used to call syslog() from a signal handler, which
+ could raise signals of its own but generally is not reentrant. This
+ was fixed by restructuring the code to report syslog() after the handler
+ returns.
+
+* When "git push" tries to remove a remote ref, and corresponding
+ tracking ref is missing, we used to report error (i.e. failure to
+ remove something that does not exist).
+
+* "git mailinfo" (hence "git am") did not handle commit log messages in a
+ MIME multipart mail correctly.
+
+Contains other various documentation fixes.
