Git, a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency, is now at version 1.8.5.2.

The previous Git 1.8.5 continues the trend of large releases, integrating a big number of changes and fixes, but the new version has been launched with just a few modifications.

According to the developers, "git diff -- ':(icase)makefile'" is no longer unnecessarily rejected at the command line parser, "git cat-file --batch-check=ok" now checks the existence of the named object, and "git am --abort" no longer complains about not being able to write a tree with a 0{40} object in it.

Also, two processes creating loose objects at the same time no longer fail unnecessarily when the name of their new objects startes with the same byte value, due to a race condition.
