GIT v1.6.5.2 Release Notes ==========================

Fixes since v1.6.5.1 --------------------

 * Installation of templates triggered a bug in busybox when using tar
   implementation from it.
 * "git add -i" incorrectly ignored paths that are already in the index
   if they matched .gitignore patterns.
 * "git describe --always" should have produced some output even there
   were no tags in the repository, but it didn't.
 * "git ls-files" when showing tracked files incorrectly paid attention
   to the exclude patterns.
Other minor documentation updates are included.
