-GIT v1.6.4 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.

-
-Updates since v1.6.3
---------------------
-
-(subsystems)
-
- * gitweb Perl style clean-up.
-
- * git-svn updates, including a new --authors-prog option to map author
-   names by invoking an external program, 'git svn reset' to unwind
-   'git svn fetch', support for more than one branches, documenting
-   of the useful --minimize-url feature, new "git svn gc" command, etc.
-
-(portability)
-
- * We feed iconv with "UTF-8" instead of "utf8"; the former is
-   understood more widely.  Similarly updated test scripts to use
-   encoding names more widely understood (e.g. use "ISO8859-1" instead
-   of "ISO-8859-1").
-
- * Various portability fixes/workarounds for different vintages of
-   SunOS, IRIX, and Windows.
-
- * Git-over-ssh transport on Windows supports PuTTY plink and TortoisePlink.
-
-(performance)
-
- * Many repeated use of lstat() are optimized out in "checkout" codepath.
-
- * git-status (and underlying git-diff-index --cached) are optimized
-   to take advantage of cache-tree information in the index.
-
-(usability, bells and whistles)
-
- * "git add --edit" lets users edit the whole patch text to fine-tune what
-   is added to the index.
-
- * "git am" accepts StGIT series file as its input.
-
- * "git bisect skip" skips to a more randomly chosen place in the hope
-   to avoid testing a commit that is too close to a commit that is
-   already known to be untestable.
-
- * "git cvsexportcommit" learned -k option to stop CVS keywords expansion
-
- * "git fast-export" learned to handle history simplification more
-   gracefully.
-
- * "git fast-export" learned an option --tag-of-filtered-object to handle
-   dangling tags resulting from history simplification more usefully.
-
- * "git grep" learned -p option to show the location of the match using the
-   same context hunk marker "git diff" uses.
-
- * https transport can optionally be told that the used client
-   certificate is password protected, in which case it asks the
-   password only once.
-
- * "git imap-send" is IPv6 aware.
-
- * "git log --graph" draws graphs more compactly by using horizontal lines
-   when able.
-
- * "git log --decorate" shows shorter refnames by stripping well-known
-   refs/* prefix.
-
- * "git push $name" honors remote.$name.pushurl if present before
-   using remote.$name.url.  In other words, the URL used for fetching
-   and pushing can be different.
-
- * "git send-email" understands quoted aliases in .mailrc files (might
-   have to be backported to 1.6.3.X).
-
- * "git send-email" can fetch the sender address from the configuration
-   variable "sendmail.from" (and "sendmail.<identity>.from").
-
- * "git show-branch" can color its output.
-
- * "add" and "update" subcommands to "git submodule" learned --reference
-   option to use local clone with references.
-
- * "git submodule update" learned --rebase option to update checked
-   out submodules by rebasing the local changes.
-
- * "gitweb" can optionally use gravatar to adorn author/committer names.
-
-(developers)
-
- * A major part of the "git bisect" wrapper has moved to C.
-
- * Formatting with the new version of AsciiDoc 8.4.1 is now supported.
-
-Fixes since v1.6.3
-------------------
-
-All of the fixes in v1.6.3.X maintenance series are included in this
-release, unless otherwise noted.
-
-Here are fixes that this release has, but have not been backported to
-v1.6.3.X series.
-
- * "git diff-tree -r -t" used to omit new or removed directories from
-   the output.  df533f3 (diff-tree -r -t: include added/removed
-   directories in the output, 2009-06-13) may need to be cherry-picked
-   to backport this fix.
-
- * The way Git.pm sets up a Repository object was not friendly to callers
-   that chdir around.  It now internally records the repository location
-   as an absolute path when autodetected.
-
- * Removing a section with "git config --remove-section", when its
-   section header has a variable definition on the same line, lost
-   that variable definition.
-
- * "git rebase -p --onto" used to always leave side branches of a merge
-   intact, even when both branches are subject to rewriting.
-
- * "git repack" used to faithfully follow grafts and considered true
-   parents recorded in the commit object unreachable from the commit.
-   After such a repacking, you cannot remove grafts without corrupting
-   the repository.
-
- * "git send-email" did not detect erroneous loops in alias expansion.
