GIT v1.6.5 Release Notes

========================

In git 1.7.0, which is planned to be the release after 1.6.5, "git push"

into a branch that is currently checked out will be refused by default.

You can choose what should happen upon such a push by setting the

configuration variable receive.denyCurrentBranch in the receiving

repository.

Also, "git push $there :$killed" to delete the branch $killed in a remote

repository $there, when $killed branch is the current branch pointed at by

its HEAD, will be refused by default.

You can choose what should happen upon such a push by setting the

configuration variable receive.denyDeleteCurrent in the receiving

repository.

To ease the transition plan, the receiving repository of such a

push running this release will issue a big warning when the

configuration variable is missing. Please refer to:

for more details on the reason why this change is needed and the

transition plan.
