+GIT v1.6.4 Release Notes
2
+========================
3
+
4
+With the next major release, "git push" into a branch that is
5
+currently checked out will be refused by default. You can choose
6
+what should happen upon such a push by setting the configuration
7
+variable receive.denyCurrentBranch in the receiving repository.
8
+
9
+To ease the transition plan, the receiving repository of such a
10
+push running this release will issue a big warning when the
11
+configuration variable is missing. Please refer to:
12
+
13
+ http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitFaq#non-bare
14
+ http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/107758/focus=108007
15
+
16
+for more details on the reason why this change is needed and the
17
+transition plan.
18
+
19
+For a similar reason, "git push $there :$killed" to delete the branch
20
+$killed in a remote repository $there, if $killed branch is the current
21
+branch pointed at by its HEAD, gets a large warning. You can choose what
22
+should happen upon such a push by setting the configuration variable
23
+receive.denyDeleteCurrent in the receiving repository.
24
+
25
+When the user does not tell "git push" what to push, it has always
26
+pushed matching refs. For some people it is unexpected, and a new
27
+configuration variable push.default has been introduced to allow
28
+changing a different default behaviour. To advertise the new feature,
29
+a big warning is issued if this is not configured and a git push without
30
+arguments is attempted.
