 +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.

 +
 +* "--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".
 +
 +* 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.
 +
 +* git-archive learned --output=<file> option.
 +
 +* git-bisect shows not just the number of remaining commits whose goodness
 +  is unknown, but also shows the estimated number of remaining rounds.
 +
 +* git-branch -r shows HEAD symref that points at a remote branch in
 +  interest of each tracked remote repository.
 +
 +* git-config learned -e option to open an editor to edit the config file
 +  directly.
 +
 +* git-format-patch can be told to use attachment with a new configuration,
 +  format.attach.
 +
 +* 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-send-email learned --confirm option to review the Cc: list before
 +  sending the messages out.
 +
 +(developers)
 +
 +* Test scripts can be run under valgrind.
