GIT v1.6.5.1 Release Notes
==========================

Fixes since v1.6.5
------------------

* An corrupt pack could make codepath to read objects into an
infinite loop.

* Download throughput display was always shown in KiB/s but on fast links
it is more appropriate to show it in MiB/s.

* "git grep -f filename" used uninitialized variable and segfaulted.

* "git clone -b branch" gave a wrong commit object name to post-checkout
hook.

* "git pull" over http did not work on msys.

Other minor documentation updates are included.
