+Git v2.20.1 Release Notes
+=========================
+
+This release is primarily to fix brown-paper-bag breakages in the
+2.20.0 release.
+
+Fixes since v2.20
+-----------------
+
+ * A few newly added tests were not portable and caused minority
+   platforms to report false breakages, which have been fixed.
+
+ * Portability fix for a recent update to parse-options API.
+
+ * "git help -a" did not work well when an overly long alias is
+   defined, which has been corrected.
+
+ * A recent update accidentally squelched an error message when the
+   run_command API failed to run a missing command, which has been
+   corrected.
