Among the most interesting changes brought by Git 2.5.2, we can mention the removal of the “bad default revision ‘HEAD'” message from the “git init empty && git -C empty log” command, as well as support for using the zip64 extension in the “git archive” command when attempting to create an archive that has more than 64k entries.
