Hi Junio, This series centers around "[PATCH 3/5] git push: verify refs early", which implements your suggestions in reply to my "[PATCH] optionally deny all pushes". I am not pursuing the deny config option further, because as you noted, it is of course made redundant by a simple pre-receive hook. [PATCH 1/5] git rev-list: fix invalid typecast I consider this one a fairly important bugfix. Although I was unable to determine under which circumstances the bug takes effect, rev-list probably takes a performance hit when it does. [PATCH 2/5] do not override receive-pack errors [PATCH 3/5] git push: verify refs early Note that [PATCH 3/5] makes an extension to the transfer protocol. [PATCH 4/5] t5541: use configured port number A mostly unrelated bugfix. [PATCH 5/5] push/fetch/clone --no-progress suppresses progress A totally unrelated change. However, this conflicts textually (lexically?) with [PATCH 3/5], and therefore I am including it here.
