Git v1.6.6 Release Notes
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
In this release, "git fsck" defaults to "git fsck --full" and checks
|
|
packfiles, and because of this it will take much longer to complete
|
|
than before. 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. Please refer to:

for more details on the reason why this change is needed and the
|
|
transition plan.

|
|
instead of differences between the commit object names.
|
|
|
|
* "git fsck" by default checks the packfiles (i.e. "--full" is the
|

the shell, which is done by "edit" to give an opportunity to tweak the
|
|
contents.
|
|
|
