If you prefer a quicker check only on loose objects (the -old default), you can say "git fsck --no-full". This has been -supported by 1.5.4 and newer versions of git, so it is safe to write -it in your script even if you use slightly older git on some of your -machines. - -In git 1.7.0, which is planned to be the release after 1.6.6, "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.

The 'trailing-space' whitespace error class has - become a short-hand to cover both of these and there is no behaviour - change for existing set-ups. - - * "git cvsimport" did not work well when it is fed filenames from the - command line and is not started at the top of the work tree. We should - backport this by merging f6fdbb6 (cvsimport: fix relative argument - filenames, 2009-10-19). - - * The way gitweb escapes its CGI parameters were broken especially when - the parameter was a UTF-8 string. We may want to backport this to - 1.6.5.X series by merging 452e225 (gitweb: fix esc_param, 2009-10-13). - - * gitweb used to show 'patch' link for merge commits but the output from - it is not usable to feed "git am" with.
