+Git 2.37.2 Release Notes
+========================
+
+This primarily is to backport various fixes accumulated on the 'master'
+front since 2.37.1.
+
+Fixes since v2.37.1
+-------------------
+
+ * "git shortlog -n" relied on the underlying qsort() to be stable,
+ which shouldn't have. Fixed.
+
+ * Variable quoting fix in the vimdiff driver of "git mergetool".
+
+ * An earlier attempt to plug leaks placed a clean-up label to jump to
+ at a bogus place, which as been corrected.
+
+ * Fixes a long-standing corner case bug around directory renames in
+ the merge-ort strategy.
+
+ * Recent update to vimdiff layout code has been made more robust
+ against different end-user vim settings.
+
+ * In a non-bare repository, the behavior of Git when the
+ core.worktree configuration variable points at a directory that has
+ a repository as its subdirectory, regressed in Git 2.27 days.
+
+ * References to commands-to-be-typed-literally in "git rebase"
+ documentation mark-up have been corrected.
+
+ * Give _() markings to fatal/warning/usage: labels that are shown in
+ front of these messages.
+
+ * "git mktree --missing" lazily fetched objects that are missing from
+ the local object store, which was totally unnecessary for the purpose
+ of creating the tree object(s) from its input.
+
+ * Fixes for tests when the source directory has unusual characters in
+ its path, e.g. whitespaces, double-quotes, etc.
+
+ * Adjust technical/bitmap-format to be formatted by AsciiDoc, and
+ add some missing information to the documentation.
+
+ * Certain diff options are currently ignored when combined-diff is
+ shown; mark them as incompatible with the feature.
+
+ * "git clone" from a repository with some ref whose HEAD is unborn
+ did not set the HEAD in the resulting repository correctly, which
+ has been corrected.
+
+ * mkstemp() emulation on Windows has been improved.
+
+ * Add missing documentation for "include" and "includeIf" features in
+ "git config" file format, which incidentally teaches the command
+ line completion to include them in its offerings.
+
+ * Avoid "white/black-list" in documentation and code comments.
+
+ * Workaround for a compiler warning against use of die() in
+ osx-keychain (in contrib/).
+
+ * Workaround for a false positive compiler warning.
+
+ * The resolve-undo information in the index was not protected against
+ GC, which has been corrected.
+
+ * A corner case bug where lazily fetching objects from a promisor
+ remote resulted in infinite recursion has been corrected.
+
+ * "git p4" working on UTF-16 files on Windows did not implement
+ CRLF-to-LF conversion correctly, which has been corrected.
+
+ * "git p4" did not handle non-ASCII client name well, which has been
+ corrected.
+
+ * "rerere-train" script (in contrib/) used to honor commit.gpgSign
+ while recreating the throw-away merges.
+
+ * "git checkout" miscounted the paths it updated, which has been
+ corrected.
+
+ * Fix for a bug that makes write-tree to fail to write out a
+ non-existent index as a tree, introduced in 2.37.
+
+ * There was a bug in the codepath to upgrade generation information
+ in commit-graph from v1 to v2 format, which has been corrected.
+
+Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
