-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
-  https://lore.kernel.org/git/7vbptlsuyv.fsf@gitster.siamese.dyndns.org/
-
-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.
-
-* git-gui updates, including an update to Russian translation, and a
-  fix to an infinite loop when showing an empty diff.
-
-* gitk updates, including an update to Russian translation and improved Windows
-  support.
-
-(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).
