 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://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/107758/focus=108007
+
+for more details on the transition plan.
