-GIT v1.6.5 Release Notes
-========================
-
-In git 1.7.0, which was planned to be the release after 1.6.5, "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.
-
-Also, "git push $there :$killed" to delete the branch $killed in a remote
-repository $there, when $killed branch is the current branch pointed at by
-its HEAD, will be refused by default.
-
-You can choose what should happen upon such a push by setting the
-configuration variable receive.denyDeleteCurrent 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.

-Updates since v1.6.4
---------------------
-
-(subsystems)
-
- * various updates to gitk, git-svn and gitweb.
-
-(portability)
-
- * more improvements on mingw port.
-
- * mingw will also give FRSX as the default value for the LESS
-   environment variable when the user does not have one.
-
- * initial support to compile git on Windows with MSVC.
-
-(performance)
-
- * On major platforms, the system can be compiled to use with Linus's
-   block-sha1 implementation of the SHA-1 hash algorithm, which
-   outperforms the default fallback implementation we borrowed from
-   Mozilla.
-
- * Unnecessary inefficiency in deepening of a shallow repository has
-   been removed.
-
- * "git clone" does not grab objects that it does not need (i.e.
-   referenced only from refs outside refs/heads and refs/tags
-   hierarchy) anymore.
-
- * The "git" main binary used to link with libcurl, which then dragged
-   in a large number of external libraries.  When using basic plumbing
-   commands in scripts, this unnecessarily slowed things down.  We now
-   implement http/https/ftp transfer as a separate executable as we
-   used to.
-
- * "git clone" run locally hardlinks or copies the files in .git/ to
-   newly created repository.  It used to give new mtime to copied files,
-   but this delayed garbage collection to trigger unnecessarily in the
-   cloned repository.  We now preserve mtime for these files to avoid
-   this issue.
-
-(usability, bells and whistles)
-
- * Human writable date format to various options, e.g. --since=yesterday,
-   master@{2000.09.17}, are taught to infer some omitted input properly.
-
- * A few programs gave verbose "advice" messages to help uninitiated
-   people when issuing error messages.  An infrastructure to allow
-   users to squelch them has been introduced, and a few such messages
-   can be silenced now.
-
- * refs/replace/ hierarchy is designed to be usable as a replacement
-   of the "grafts" mechanism, with the added advantage that it can be
-   transferred across repositories.
-
- * "git am" learned to optionally ignore whitespace differences.
-
- * "git am" handles input e-mail files that has CRLF line endings sensibly.
-
- * "git am" learned "--scissors" option to allow you to discard early part
-   of an incoming e-mail.
-
- * "git archive -o output.zip" works without being told what format to
-   use with an explicit "--format=zip".option.
-
- * "git checkout", "git reset" and "git stash" learned to pick and
-   choose to use selected changes you made, similar to "git add -p".
-
- * "git clone" learned a "-b" option to pick a HEAD to check out
-   different from the remote's default branch.
-
- * "git clone" learned --recursive option.
-
- * "git clone" from a local repository on a different filesystem used to
-   copy individual object files without preserving the old timestamp, giving
-   them extra lifetime in the new repository until they gc'ed.
-
- * "git commit --dry-run $args" is a new recommended way to ask "what would
-   happen if I try to commit with these arguments."
-
- * "git commit --dry-run" and "git status" shows conflicted paths in a
-   separate section to make them easier to spot during a merge.
-
- * "git cvsimport" now supports password-protected pserver access even
-   when the password is not taken from ~/.cvspass file.
-
- * "git fast-export" learned --no-data option that can be useful when
-   reordering commits and trees without touching the contents of
-   blobs.
-
- * "git fast-import" has a pair of new front-end in contrib/ area.
-
- * "git init" learned to mkdir/chdir into a directory when given an
-   extra argument (i.e. "git init this").
-
- * "git instaweb" optionally can use mongoose as the web server.
-
- * "git log --decorate" can optionally be told with --decorate=full to
-   give the reference name in full.
-
- * "git merge" issued an unnecessarily scary message when it detected
-   that the merge may have to touch the path that the user has local
-   uncommitted changes to. The message has been reworded to make it
-   clear that the command aborted, without doing any harm.
-
- * "git push" can be told to be --quiet.
-
- * "git push" pays attention to url.$base.pushInsteadOf and uses a URL
-   that is derived from the URL used for fetching.
-
- * informational output from "git reset" that lists the locally modified
-   paths is made consistent with that of "git checkout $another_branch".
-
- * "git submodule" learned to give submodule name to scripts run with
-   "foreach" subcommand.
-
- * various subcommands to "git submodule" learned --recursive option.
-
- * "git submodule summary" learned --files option to compare the work
-   tree vs the commit bound at submodule path, instead of comparing
-   the index.
-
- * "git upload-pack", which is the server side support for "git clone" and
-   "git fetch", can call a new post-upload-pack hook for statistics purposes.
-
-(developers)
-
- * With GIT_TEST_OPTS="--root=/p/a/t/h", tests can be run outside the
-   source directory; using tmpfs may give faster turnaround.
-
- * With NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER set, DESTDIR= is now honoured, so you can
-   build for one location, and install into another location to tar it
-   up.
