1 GIT v1.6.6 Release Notes
2 ========================
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.
8 You can choose what should happen upon such a push by setting the
9 configuration variable receive.denyCurrentBranch in the receiving
10 repository.
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.
16 You can choose what should happen upon such a push by setting the
17 configuration variable receive.denyDeleteCurrent in the receiving
18 repository.
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:

28 transition plan.
30 Updates since v1.6.5
31 --------------------
33 (subsystems)
35 (portability)
37 (performance)
39 (usability, bells and whistles)
41 * "git log --decorate" shows the location of HEAD as well.
43 (developers)
45 Fixes since v1.6.5
46 ------------------
48 All of the fixes in v1.6.5.X maintenance series are included in this
49 release, unless otherwise noted.
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).
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.
