-GIT v1.6.2 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.

-Updates since v1.6.1
---------------------
-
-(subsystems)
-
-* git-svn updates.
-
-* gitweb updates, including a new patch view and RSS/Atom feed
-  improvements.
-
-* (contrib/emacs) git.el now has commands for checking out a branch,
-  creating a branch, cherry-picking and reverting commits; vc-git.el
-  is not shipped with git anymore (it is part of official Emacs).
-
-(performance)
-
-* pack-objects autodetects the number of CPUs available and uses threaded
-  version.
-
-(usability, bells and whistles)
-
-* automatic typo correction works on aliases as well
-
-* @{-1} is a way to refer to the last branch you were on.  This is
-  accepted not only where an object name is expected, but anywhere
-  a branch name is expected and acts as if you typed the branch name.
-  E.g. "git branch --track mybranch @{-1}", "git merge @{-1}", and
-  "git rev-parse --symbolic-full-name @{-1}" would work as expected.
-
-* When refs/remotes/origin/HEAD points at a remote tracking branch that
-  has been pruned away, many git operations issued warning when they
-  internally enumerated the refs.  We now warn only when you say "origin"
-  to refer to that pruned branch.
-
-* The location of .mailmap file can be configured, and its file format was
-  enhanced to allow mapping an incorrect e-mail field as well.
-
-* "git add -p" learned 'g'oto action to jump directly to a hunk.
-
-* "git add -p" learned to find a hunk with given text with '/'.
-
-* "git add -p" optionally can be told to work with just the command letter
-  without Enter.
-
-* when "git am" stops upon a patch that does not apply, it shows the
-  title of the offending patch.
-
-* "git am --directory=<dir>" and "git am --reject" passes these options
-  to underlying "git apply".
-
-* "git am" learned --ignore-date option.
-
-* "git blame" aligns author names better when they are spelled in
-  non US-ASCII encoding.
-
-* "git clone" now makes its best effort when cloning from an empty
-  repository to set up configuration variables to refer to the remote
-  repository.
-
-* "git checkout -" is a shorthand for "git checkout @{-1}".
-
-* "git cherry" defaults to whatever the current branch is tracking (if
-  exists) when the <upstream> argument is not given.
-
-* "git cvsserver" can be told not to add extra "via git-CVS emulator" to
-  the commit log message it serves via gitcvs.commitmsgannotation
-  configuration.
-
-* "git cvsserver" learned to handle 'noop' command some CVS clients seem
-  to expect to work.
-
-* "git diff" learned a new option --inter-hunk-context to coalesce close
-  hunks together and show context between them.
-
-* The definition of what constitutes a word for "git diff --color-words"
-  can be customized via gitattributes, command line or a configuration.
-
-* "git diff" learned --patience to run "patience diff" algorithm.
-
-* "git filter-branch" learned --prune-empty option that discards commits
-  that do not change the contents.
-
-* "git fsck" now checks loose objects in alternate object stores, instead
-  of misreporting them as missing.
-
-* "git gc --prune" was resurrected to allow "git gc --no-prune" and
-  giving non-default expiration period e.g. "git gc --prune=now".
-
-* "git grep -w" and "git grep" for fixed strings have been optimized.
-
-* "git mergetool" learned -y(--no-prompt) option to disable prompting.
-
-* "git rebase -i" can transplant a history down to root to elsewhere
-  with --root option.
-
-* "git reset --merge" is a new mode that works similar to the way
-  "git checkout" switches branches, taking the local changes while
-  switching to another commit.
-
-* "git submodule update" learned --no-fetch option.
-
-* "git tag" learned --contains that works the same way as the same option
-  from "git branch".
-
-
-Fixes since v1.6.1
-------------------
-
-All of the fixes in v1.6.1.X maintenance series are included in this
-release, unless otherwise noted.
-
-Here are fixes that this release has, but have not been backported to
-v1.6.1.X series.
-
-* "git-add sub/file" when sub is a submodule incorrectly added the path to
-  the superproject.
-
-* "git bundle" did not exclude annotated tags even when a range given
-  from the command line wanted to.
-
-* "git filter-branch" unnecessarily refused to work when you had
-  checked out a different commit from what is recorded in the superproject
-  index in a submodule.
-
-* "git filter-branch" incorrectly tried to update a nonexistent work tree
-  at the end when it is run in a bare repository.
-
-* "git gc" did not work if your repository was created with an ancient git
-  and never had any pack files in it before.
-
-* "git mergetool" used to ignore autocrlf and other attributes
-  based content rewriting.
-
-* branch switching and merges had a silly bug that did not validate
-  the correct directory when making sure an existing subdirectory is
-  clean.
-
-* "git -p cmd" when cmd is not a built-in one left the display in funny state
-  when killed in the middle.
