GIT v1.6.3 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:

+ http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/107758/focus=108007

+
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.
