 Git 2.32 Release Notes
 ======================
 
+Backward compatibility notes
+----------------------------
+
+ * ".gitattributes", ".gitignore", and ".mailmap" files that are
+   symbolic links are ignored.
+
+
 Updates since v2.32
 -------------------
 
-Backward incompatible and other important changes
+UI, Workflows & Features
 
+ * It does not make sense to make ".gitattributes", ".gitignore" and
+   ".mailmap" symlinks, as they are supposed to be usable from the
+   object store (think: bare repositories where HEAD:.mailmap etc. are
+   used).  When these files are symbolic links, we used to read the
+   contents of the files pointed by them by mistake, which has been
+   corrected.
 
-UI, Workflows & Features
+ * "git stash show" learned to optionally show untracked part of the
+   stash.
+
+ * "git log --format='...'" learned "%(describe)" placeholder.
 
 
 Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
 
+ * Rename detection rework continues.
