+GIT v1.6.3 Release Notes
+========================
+
+With the next major release, "git push" into a branch that is
+currently checked out will be refused by default.  You can choose
+what should happen upon such a push by setting the configuration
+variable receive.denyCurrentBranch in the receiving repository.
+
+To ease the transition plan, the receiving repository of such a
+push running this release will issue a big warning when the
+configuration variable is missing.  Please refer to:
+
+  http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitFaq#non-bare
+  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/107758/focus=108007
+
+for more details on the reason why this change is needed and the
+transition plan.
+
+For a similar reason, "git push $there :$killed" to delete the branch
+$killed in a remote repository $there, if $killed branch is the current
+branch pointed at by its HEAD, gets a large warning.  You can choose what
+should happen upon such a push by setting the configuration variable
+receive.denyDeleteCurrent in the receiving repository.
+
+When the user does not tell "git push" what to push, it has always
+pushed matching refs.  For some people it is unexpected, and a new
+configuration variable push.default has been introduced to allow
+changing a different default behaviour.  To advertise the new feature,
+a big warning is issued if this is not configured and a git push without
+arguments is attempted.
+
+
+Updates since v1.6.2
+--------------------
+
+(subsystems)
+
+* various git-svn updates.
+
+(performance)
+
+* many uses of lstat(2) in the codepath for "git checkout" have been
+  optimized out.
+
+(usability, bells and whistles)
+
+* Boolean configuration variable yes/no can be written as on/off.
+
+* 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.
+
+* http transport learned to prompt and use password when fetching from or
+  pushing to http://user@host.xz/ URL.
+
+* (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.
+
+* "--oneline" is a synonym for "--pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit".
+
+* "--graph" to the "git log" family can draw the commit ancestry graph
+  in colors.
+
+* If you realize that you botched the patch when you are editing hunks
+  with the 'edit' action in git-add -i/-p, you can abort the editor to
+  tell git not to apply it.
+
+* @{-1} is a new way to refer to the last branch you were on introduced in
+  1.6.2, but the initial implementation did not teach this to a few
+  commands.  Now the syntax works with "branch -m @{-1} newname".
+
+* git-archive learned --output=<file> option.
+
+* git-archive takes attributes from the tree being archived; strictly
+  speaking, this is an incompatible behaviour change, but is a good one.
+  Use --worktree-attributes option to allow it to read attributes from
+  the work tree as before (deprecated git-tar tree command always reads
+  attributes from the work tree).
+
+* 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-branch -v -v" is a new way to get list of names for branches and the
+  "upstream" branch for them.
+
+* 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-difftool is now part of the officially supported command, primarily
+  maintained by David Aguilar.
+
+* git-for-each-ref learned a new "upstream" token.
+
+* 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-format-patch can be told to always add sign-off with a configuration
+  variable.
+
+* git-format-patch learned format.headers configuration to add extra
+  header fields to the output.  This behaviour is similar to the existing
+  --add-header=<header> option of the command.
+
+* git-format-patch gives human readable names to the attached files, when
+  told to send patches as attachments.
+
+* 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 rebase the series even if your branch is a
+  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 remote update --prune $remote" updates from the named remote and
+  then prunes stale tracking branches.
+
+* git-send-email learned --confirm option to review the Cc: list before
+  sending the messages out.
+
+(developers)
+
+* Test scripts can be run under valgrind.
+
+* Test scripts can be run with installed git.
+
+* Makefile learned 'coverage' option to run the test suites with
+  coverage tracking enabled.
+
+* Building the manpages with docbook-xsl between 1.69.1 and 1.71.1 now
+  requires setting DOCBOOK_SUPPRESS_SP to work around a docbook-xsl bug.
+  This workaround used to be enabled by default, but causes problems
+  with newer versions of docbook-xsl.  In addition, there are a few more
+  knobs you can tweak to work around issues with various versions of the
+  docbook-xsl package.  See comments in Documentation/Makefile for details.
+
+* Support for building and testing a subset of git on a system without a
+  working perl has been improved.
+
+
+Fixes since v1.6.2
+------------------
+
+All of the fixes in v1.6.2.X maintenance series are included in this
+release, unless otherwise noted.
+
+Here are fixes that this release has, but have not been backported to
+v1.6.2.X series.
+
+* "git-apply" rejected a patch that swaps two files (i.e. renames A to B
+  and B to A at the same time).  May need to be backported by cherry
+  picking d8c81df and then 7fac0ee).
+
+* The initial checkout did not read the attributes from the .gitattribute
+  file that is being checked out.
+
+* git-gc spent excessive amount of time to decide if an object appears
+  in a locally existing pack (if needed, backport by merging 69e020a).

+NAME
+----
+git-difftool - Show changes using common diff tools
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+'git difftool' [--tool=<tool>] [-y|--no-prompt|--prompt] [<'git diff' options>]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+'git-difftool' is a git command that allows you to compare and edit files
+between revisions using common diff tools.  'git difftool' is a frontend
+to 'git-diff' and accepts the same options and arguments.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+-y::
+--no-prompt::
+	Do not prompt before launching a diff tool.
+
+--prompt::
+	Prompt before each invocation of the diff tool.
+	This is the default behaviour; the option is provided to
+	override any configuration settings.
+
+-t <tool>::
+--tool=<tool>::
+	Use the diff tool specified by <tool>.
+	Valid merge tools are:
+	kdiff3, kompare, tkdiff, meld, xxdiff, emerge, vimdiff, gvimdiff,
+	ecmerge, diffuse and opendiff
++
+If a diff tool is not specified, 'git-difftool'
+will use the configuration variable `diff.tool`.  If the
+configuration variable `diff.tool` is not set, 'git-difftool'
+will pick a suitable default.
++
+You can explicitly provide a full path to the tool by setting the
+configuration variable `difftool.<tool>.path`. For example, you
+can configure the absolute path to kdiff3 by setting
+`difftool.kdiff3.path`. Otherwise, 'git-difftool' assumes the
+tool is available in PATH.
++
+Instead of running one of the known diff tools,
+'git-difftool' can be customized to run an alternative program
+by specifying the command line to invoke in a configuration
+variable `difftool.<tool>.cmd`.
++
+When 'git-difftool' is invoked with this tool (either through the
+`-t` or `--tool` option or the `diff.tool` configuration variable)
+the configured command line will be invoked with the following
+variables available: `$LOCAL` is set to the name of the temporary
+file containing the contents of the diff pre-image and `$REMOTE`
+is set to the name of the temporary file containing the contents
+of the diff post-image.  `$BASE` is provided for compatibility
+with custom merge tool commands and has the same value as `$LOCAL`.
+
+See linkgit:git-diff[1] for the full list of supported options.
+
+CONFIG VARIABLES
+----------------
+'git-difftool' falls back to 'git-mergetool' config variables when the
+difftool equivalents have not been defined.
+
+diff.tool::
+	The default diff tool to use.
+
+difftool.<tool>.path::
+	Override the path for the given tool.  This is useful in case
+	your tool is not in the PATH.
+
+difftool.<tool>.cmd::
+	Specify the command to invoke the specified diff tool.
++
+See the `--tool=<tool>` option above for more details.
+
+difftool.prompt::
+	Prompt before each invocation of the diff tool.
+
+SEE ALSO
+--------
+linkgit:git-diff[1]::
+	 Show changes between commits, commit and working tree, etc
+
+linkgit:git-mergetool[1]::
+	Run merge conflict resolution tools to resolve merge conflicts
+
+linkgit:git-config[1]::
+	 Get and set repository or global options

+git-mergetool--lib - Common git merge tool shell scriptlets
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+'TOOL_MODE=(diff|merge) . "$(git --exec-path)/git-mergetool--lib"'
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+This is not a command the end user would want to run.  Ever.
+This documentation is meant for people who are studying the
+Porcelain-ish scripts and/or are writing new ones.
+
+The 'git-mergetool--lib' scriptlet is designed to be sourced (using
+`.`) by other shell scripts to set up functions for working
+with git merge tools.
+
+Before sourcing 'git-mergetool--lib', your script must set `TOOL_MODE`
+to define the operation mode for the functions listed below.
+'diff' and 'merge' are valid values.
+
+FUNCTIONS
+---------
+get_merge_tool::
+	returns a merge tool.
+
+get_merge_tool_cmd::
+	returns the custom command for a merge tool.
+
+get_merge_tool_path::
+	returns the custom path for a merge tool.
+
+run_merge_tool::
+	launches a merge tool given the tool name and a true/false
+	flag to indicate whether a merge base is present.
+	'$MERGED', '$LOCAL', '$REMOTE', and '$BASE' must be defined
+	for use by the merge tool.

-NAME
-----
-git-difftool - compare changes using common merge tools
-
-SYNOPSIS
---------
-'git difftool' [--tool=<tool>] [--no-prompt] ['git diff' options]
-
-DESCRIPTION
------------
-'git-difftool' is a git command that allows you to compare and edit files
-between revisions using common merge tools.  At its most basic level,
-'git-difftool' does what 'git-mergetool' does but its use is for non-merge
-situations such as when preparing commits or comparing changes against
-the index.
-
-'git difftool' is a frontend to 'git diff' and accepts the same
-arguments and options.
-
-See linkgit:git-diff[1] for the full list of supported options.
-
-OPTIONS
--------
--t <tool>::
---tool=<tool>::
-	Use the merge resolution program specified by <tool>.
-	Valid merge tools are:
-	kdiff3, kompare, tkdiff, meld, xxdiff, emerge,
-	vimdiff, gvimdiff, ecmerge, and opendiff
-+
-If a merge resolution program is not specified, 'git-difftool'
-will use the configuration variable `merge.tool`.  If the
-configuration variable `merge.tool` is not set, 'git difftool'
-will pick a suitable default.
-+
-You can explicitly provide a full path to the tool by setting the
-configuration variable `mergetool.<tool>.path`. For example, you
-can configure the absolute path to kdiff3 by setting
-`mergetool.kdiff3.path`. Otherwise, 'git-difftool' assumes the
-tool is available in PATH.
-+
-Instead of running one of the known merge tool programs,
-'git-difftool' can be customized to run an alternative program
-by specifying the command line to invoke in a configuration
-variable `mergetool.<tool>.cmd`.
-+
-When 'git-difftool' is invoked with this tool (either through the
-`-t` or `--tool` option or the `merge.tool` configuration variable)
-the configured command line will be invoked with the following
-variables available: `$LOCAL` is set to the name of the temporary
-file containing the contents of the diff pre-image and `$REMOTE`
-is set to the name of the temporary file containing the contents
-of the diff post-image.  `$BASE` is provided for compatibility
-with custom merge tool commands and has the same value as `$LOCAL`.
-
---no-prompt::
-	Do not prompt before launching a diff tool.
-
-CONFIG VARIABLES
-----------------
-merge.tool::
-	The default merge tool to use.
-+
-See the `--tool=<tool>` option above for more details.
-
-merge.keepBackup::
-	The original, unedited file content can be saved to a file with
-	a `.orig` extension.  Defaults to `true` (i.e. keep the backup files).
-
-mergetool.<tool>.path::
-	Override the path for the given tool.  This is useful in case
-	your tool is not in the PATH.
-
-mergetool.<tool>.cmd::
-	Specify the command to invoke the specified merge tool.
-+
-See the `--tool=<tool>` option above for more details.
-
-
-SEE ALSO
---------
-linkgit:git-diff[1]::
-	 Show changes between commits, commit and working tree, etc
-
-linkgit:git-mergetool[1]::
-	Run merge conflict resolution tools to resolve merge conflicts
-
-linkgit:git-config[1]::
-	 Get and set repository or global options
