@ -22,12 +22,12 @@ 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.
In a future release, the default of "git push" without further
arguments might be changed. Currently, it will push all matching
refspecs to the current remote. A configuration variable push.default
has been introduced to select the default behaviour. To ease the
transition, a big warning is issued if this is not configured and a
git push without arguments is attempted.
When the user does not tell "git push" what to push, it has always
pushed matching refs. For some people it is unexpected, and a new
configuration variable push.default has been introduced to allow
changing a different default behaviour. To advertise the new feature,
a big warning is issued if this is not configured and a git push without
arguments is attempted.

Here are fixes that this release has, but have not been backported to
v1.6.2.X series.
* "git-blame -S" did not quite work near the commits that were given
on the command line correctly (jc/maint-1.6.0-blame-s).
* The initial checkout did not read the attributes from the .gitattribute
file that is being checked out.
* git-diff feeds files in work-tree representation to external diff and
textconv (js/maint-diff-temp-smudge).
* git-gc spent excessive amount of time to decide if an object appears
in a locally existing pack (if needed, backport by merging 69e020a).
