should happen upon such a push by setting the configuration variable
receive.denyDeleteCurrent in the receiving repository.
+In a future release, the default of "git push" without further
+arguments might be changed. Currently, it will push all matching
+refspecs to the current remote. A configuration variable push.default
+has been introduced to select the default behaviour. To ease the
+transition, a big warning is issued if this is not configured and a
+git push without arguments is attempted.

Updates since v1.6.2
--------------------
(performance)
+* many uses of lstat(2) in the codepath for "git checkout" have been
+ optimized out.
+
(usability, bells and whistles)
+* rsync:/path/to/repo can be used to run git over rsync for local
+ repositories. It may not be useful in practice; meant primarily for
+ testing.
+
+* (msysgit) progress output that is sent over the sideband protocol can
+ be handled appropriately in Windows console.
+
* "--pretty=<style>" option to the log family of commands can now be
spelled as "--format=<style>". In addition, --format=%formatstring
is a short-hand for --pretty=tformat:%formatstring.
* git-bisect shows not just the number of remaining commits whose goodness
is unknown, but also shows the estimated number of remaining rounds.
+* You can give --date=<format> option to git-blame.
+
* git-branch -r shows HEAD symref that points at a remote branch in
interest of each tracked remote repository.
* git-config learned -e option to open an editor to edit the config file
directly.
+* git-clone runs post-checkout hook when run without --no-checkout.
+
* git-format-patch can be told to use attachment with a new configuration,
format.attach.
+* git-format-patch can be told to produce deep or shallow message threads.
+
+* git-grep learned to highlight the found substrings in color.
+
* git-imap-send learned to work around Thunderbird's inability to easily
disable format=flowed with a new configuration, imap.preformattedHTML.
descendant of the commit you are rebasing onto with --force-rebase
option.
+* git-rebase can be told to report diffstat with the --stat option.
+
+* Output from git-remote command has been vastly improved.
+
* git-send-email learned --confirm option to review the Cc: list before
sending the messages out.
* Test scripts can be run under valgrind.
+* Makefile learned 'coverage' option to run the test suites with
+ coverage tracking enabled.
Fixes since v1.6.2
------------------
Here are fixes that this release has, but have not been backported to
v1.6.2.X series.
-* .gitignore learned to handle backslash as a quoting mechanism for
- comment introduction character "#" (backport by merging dd482ee if
- needed).
-
-* timestamp output in --date=relative mode used to display timestamps that
- are long time ago in the default mode; it now uses "N years M months
- ago", and "N years ago" (backport by picking 10edf37 if needed).
-
-* git-add -i/-p now works with non-ASCII pathnames (backport by picking
- 8851f48 if needed).
-
-* "git hash-object -w" did not read from the configuration file from the
- correct .git directory (backport by merging 272459a if needed).
-
-* git-send-email learned to correctly handle multiple Cc: addresses
- (backport by merging afe756c if needed).
+* git-gc spent excessive amount of time to decide if an object appears
+ in a locally existing pack (if needed, backport by merging 69e020a).
