+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:

+  http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitFaq#non-bare
+  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/107758/focus=108007
+
+for more details on the reason why this change is needed and the
+transition plan.
+
+Updates since v1.6.5
+--------------------
+
+(subsystems)
+
+(portability)
+
+(performance)
+
+(usability, bells and whistles)
+
+ * The object replace mechanism can be bypassed with --no-replace-objects
+   global option given to the "git" program.
+
+ * "git fsck" by default checks the packfiles (i.e. "--full" is the
+   default); you can turn it off with "git fsck --no-full".
+
+ * import-tars contributed fast-import frontend learned more types of
+   compressed tarballs.
+
+ * "git instaweb" knows how to talk with mod_cgid to apache2.
+
+ * "git log --decorate" shows the location of HEAD as well.
+
+ * "git rebase -i" learned "reword" that acts like "edit" but immediately
+   starts an editor to tweak the log message without returning control to
+   the shell, which is done by "edit" to give an opportunity to tweak the
+   contents.
+
+ * Author names shown in gitweb output are links to search commits by the
+   author.
+
+
+(developers)
+
+Fixes since v1.6.5
+------------------
+
+All of the fixes in v1.6.5.X maintenance series are included in this
+release, unless otherwise noted.
+
+ * "git apply" and "git diff" (including patch output from "git log -p")
+   now flags trailing blank lines as whitespace errors correctly (only
+   "apply --whitespace=fix" stripped them but "apply --whitespace=warn"
+   did not even warn).
+
+ * Two whitespace error classes, 'blank-at-eof' and 'blank-at-eol', have
+   been introduced (settable by core.whitespace configuration variable and
+   whitespace attribute).  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.  We may want to backport this
+   to 1.6.5.X series by merging 1655c98 (gitweb: Do not show 'patch' link
+   for merge commits, 2009-10-09).
