+Git 2.51.1 Release Notes
+========================
+
+There shouldn't be anything exciting to see here. This is primarily
+to flush the "do you still use it?" improvements that has landed on
+the master front, together with a handful of low-hanging low-impact
+fixes that should be safe.
+
+
+Fixes since Git 2.51.0
+----------------------
+
+ * The "do you still use it?" message given by a command that is
+ deeply deprecated and allow us to suggest alternatives has been
+ updated.
+
+ * The compatObjectFormat extension is used to hide an incomplete
+ feature that is not yet usable for any purpose other than
+ developing the feature further. Document it as such to discourage
+ its use by mere mortals.
+
+ * Manual page for "gitk" is updated with the current maintainer's
+ name.
+
+ * Update the instruction to use of GGG in the MyFirstContribution
+ document to say that a GitHub PR could be made against `git/git`
+ instead of `gitgitgadget/git`.
+
+ * Clang-format update to let our control macros formatted the way we
+ had them traditionally, e.g., "for_each_string_list_item()" without
+ space before the parentheses.
+
+ * A few places where an size_t value was cast to curl_off_t without
+ checking has been updated to use the existing helper function.
+
+ * The start_delayed_progress() function in the progress eye-candy API
+ did not clear its internal state, making an initial delay value
+ larger than 1 second ineffective, which has been corrected.
+
+ * Makefile tried to run multiple "cargo build" which would not work
+ very well; serialize their execution to work it around.
+
+ * Adjust to the way newer versions of cURL selectivel enables tracing
+ options, so that our tests can continue to work.
+
+Also contains various documentation updates, code clean-ups and minor fixups.
