+Git v2.37 Release Notes
+=======================
+
+Fixes since v2.36
+-----------------
+
+ * "git submodule update" without pathspec should silently skip an
+   uninitialized submodule, but it started to become noisy by mistake.
+   (merge 4f1ccef87c gc/submodule-update-part2 later to maint).
+
+ * "diff-tree --stdin" has been broken for about a year, but 2.36
+   release broke it even worse by breaking running the command with
+   <pathspec>, which in turn broke "gitk" and got noticed.  This has
+   been corrected by aligning its behaviour to that of "log".
+   (merge f8781bfda3 jc/diff-tree-stdin-fix later to maint).
+
+ * Regression fix for 2.36 where "git name-rev" started to sometimes
+   reference strings after they are freed.
+   (merge 45a14f578e rs/name-rev-fix-free-after-use later to maint).
