1GIT v1.6.3 Release Notes

4With the next major release, "git push" into a branch that is
5currently checked out will be refused by default. You can choose
6what should happen upon such a push by setting the configuration
7variable receive.denyCurrentBranch in the receiving repository.
8
9To ease the transition plan, the receiving repository of such a
10push running this release will issue a big warning when the
11configuration variable is missing. Please refer to:

16for more details on the reason why this change is needed and the
17transition plan.
18
19For a similar reason, "git push $there :$killed" to delete the branch
20$killed in a remote repository $there, if $killed branch is the current
21branch pointed at by its HEAD, gets a large warning. You can choose what
22should happen upon such a push by setting the configuration variable
23receive.denyDeleteCurrent in the receiving repository.
