+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.
+
+Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
