+GIT v1.6.6 Release Notes
2
+========================
3
+
4
+In git 1.7.0, which is planned to be the release after 1.6.6, "git
5
+push" into a branch that is currently checked out will be refused by
6
+default.
7
+
8
+You can choose what should happen upon such a push by setting the
9
+configuration variable receive.denyCurrentBranch in the receiving
10
+repository.
11
+
12
+Also, "git push $there :$killed" to delete the branch $killed in a remote
13
+repository $there, when $killed branch is the current branch pointed at by
14
+its HEAD, will be refused by default.
15
+
16
+You can choose what should happen upon such a push by setting the
17
+configuration variable receive.denyDeleteCurrent in the receiving
18
+repository.
19
+
20
+To ease the transition plan, the receiving repository of such a
21
+push running this release will issue a big warning when the
22
+configuration variable is missing. Please refer to:

+for more details on the reason why this change is needed and the
28
+transition plan.

+Fixes since v1.6.5
46
+------------------
47
+
48
+All of the fixes in v1.6.5.X maintenance series are included in this
49
+release, unless otherwise noted.
50
+
51
+ * "git apply" and "git diff" (including patch output from "git log -p")
52
+ now flags trailing blank lines as whitespace errors correctly (only
53
+ "apply --whitespace=fix" stripped them but "apply --whitespace=warn"
54
+ did not even warn).
55
+
56
+ * Two whitespace error classes, 'blank-at-eof' and 'blank-at-eol', have
57
+ been introduced (settable by core.whitespace configuration variable and
58
+ whitespace attribute). The 'trailing-space' whitespace error class has
59
+ become a short-hand to cover both of these and there is no behaviour
60
+ change for existing set-ups.
