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-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.
* 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.
Here are fixes that this release has, but have not been backported to
v1.6.2.X series.
-* 'git-submodule add' did not tolerate extra slashes and ./ in the
- path it accepted from the command line; it now is more lenient
- (if needed, backport by merging db75ada).
-
* git-gc spent excessive amount of time to decide if an object appears
in a locally existing pack (if needed, backport by merging 69e020a).
