Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with
'-' are only in 'pu' (proposed updates) while commits prefixed with
'+' are in 'next'. The ones marked with '.' do not appear in any of
the integration branches, but I am still holding onto them.
I thought we reduced the number of stalled topics due to lack of
reviews reasonably low, but it seems to be increasing again. Help is
greatly appreciated.
On the 'master' front, we have managed to merge enough important
fixes; expect the first maintenance release for 2.7.x series
soonish. Thanks for all bug reporters, contributors and reviewers.
You can find the changes described here in the integration branches of the
repositories listed at

* jk/filter-branch-no-index (2016-01-19) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-01-22 at 312aa2c)
+ filter-branch: resolve $commit^{tree} in no-index case
A recent optimization to filter-branch in v2.7.0 introduced a
regression when --prune-empty filter is used, which has been
corrected.
* jk/list-tag-2.7-regression (2016-01-26) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-01-26 at fb9ccee)
+ tag: do not show ambiguous tag names as "tags/foo"
+ t6300: use test_atom for some un-modern tests
(this branch is used by kn/ref-filter-atom-parsing.)
"git tag" started listing a tag "foo" as "tags/foo" when a branch
named "foo" exists in the same repository; remove this unnecessary
disambiguation, which is a regression introduced in v2.7.0.
* jk/sanity (2016-01-19) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-01-22 at 612cc5f)
+ test-lib: clarify and tighten SANITY
The description for SANITY prerequisite the test suite uses has
been clarified both in the comment and in the implementation.
* jk/shortlog (2016-01-19) 7 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-01-22 at f1c688c)

+ shortlog: optimize out useless string list
+ shortlog: optimize out useless "<none>" normalization
+ shortlog: optimize "--summary" mode
+ shortlog: replace hand-parsing of author with pretty-printer
+ shortlog: use strbufs to read from stdin
+ shortlog: match both "Author:" and "author" on stdin
"git shortlog" used to accumulate various pieces of information
regardless of what was asked to be shown in the final output. It
has been optimized by noticing what need not to be collected
(e.g. there is no need to collect the log messages when showing
only the number of changes).
* js/msys2 (2016-01-15) 9 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-01-22 at 8bab6ab)

+ compat/mingw: support MSys2-based MinGW build
+ nedmalloc: allow compiling with MSys2's compiler
+ config.mak.uname: supporting 64-bit MSys2
+ config.mak.uname: support MSys2
(this branch is used by js/mingw-tests.)
Beginning of the upstreaming process of Git for Windows effort.
* tk/interpret-trailers-in-place (2016-01-14) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-01-22 at 5db0cf8)
+ interpret-trailers: add option for in-place editing
+ trailer: allow to write to files other than stdout
"interpret-trailers" has been taught to optionally update a file in
place, instead of always writing the result to the standard output.

[New Topics]
* aw/push-force-with-lease-reporting (2016-02-01) 1 commit
- push: fix ref status reporting for --force-with-lease
"git push --force-with-lease" has been taught to report if the push
needed to force (or fast-forwarded).
Will merge to 'next'.
* ew/connect-verbose (2016-01-28) 1 commit
- pass transport verbosity down to git_connect
There were a few "now I am doing this thing" progress messages in
the TCP connection code that can be triggered by setting a verbose
option internally in the code, but "git fetch -v" and friends never
passed the verbose option down to that codepath.
There was a brief discussion about the impact on the end-user
experience by not limiting this to "fetch -v -v", but I think the
conclusion is that this is OK to enable with a single "-v" as it is
not too noisy.
Will merge to 'next'.
* ls/clean-smudge-override-in-config (2016-01-29) 1 commit
- convert: treat an empty string for clean/smudge filters as "cat"
Allow clean and smudge filter commands defined in a configuration
file to be disabled by redefining it to an empty string.
Will merge to 'next'.

the source repository has packed references for a long time, and
nobody noticed nor complained about it.
Will merge to 'next'.

- remote-curl: don't fall back to Basic auth if we haven't tried Negotiate
Needs review.
* js/test-lib-windows-emulated-yes (2016-02-02) 1 commit
- test-lib: limit the output of the yes utility
The emulated "yes" command used in our test scripts has been
tweaked not to spend too much time generating unnecessary output
that is not used, to help those who test on Windows where it would
not stop until it fills the pipe buffer due to lack of SIGPIPE.

. WIPWIP
. WIP: diff-b-m
- diffcore-rename: allow easier debugging
- diffcore-rename.c: add locate_rename_src()
- diffcore-break: allow debugging
"git diff -B -M" produced incorrect patch when the postimage of a
completely rewritten file is similar to the preimage of a removed
file; such a resulting file must not be expressed as a rename from
other place.
The fix in this patch is broken, unfortunately.
Will discard.

Building on top of a few refs-backend preparatory series, LMDB
based refs backend has been plugged into the system.
This can now be reviewed and polished as it no longer depends on
too many topics in flight ;-)

+ clean: make is_git_repository a public function
Teach the underlying machinery used by "ls-files -o" and other
commands not to create empty submodule ref cache for a directory
that is not a submodule. This removes a ton of wasted CPU cycles.
Will merge to 'master'.

expectations that are not satisfiable on Git for Windows.
Will merge to 'next'.
* js/xmerge-marker-eol (2016-01-27) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-02-01 at 05d91a4)
+ merge-file: ensure that conflict sections match eol style
+ merge-file: let conflict markers match end-of-line style of the context
The low-level merge machinery has been taught to use CRLF line
termination when inserting conflict markers to merged contents that
are themselves CRLF line-terminated.
Will merge to 'master'.

- restore_env(): free the saved environment variable once we are done
- git: simplify environment save/restore logic
- git: protect against unbalanced calls to {save,restore}_env()
- git: remove an early return from save_env_before_alias()
The automatic typo correction applied to an alias was broken
with a recent change already in 'master'.
Needs review.

* kf/http-proxy-auth-methods (2016-01-26) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-02-01 at b0956b2)
+ http: use credential API to handle proxy authentication
+ http: allow selection of proxy authentication method
New http.proxyAuthMethod configuration variable can be used to
specify what authentication method to use, as a way to work around
proxies that do not give error response expected by libcurl when
CURLAUTH_ANY is used. Also, the codepath for proxy authentication
has been taught to use credential API to store the authentication
material in user's keyrings.

+ hash-object: read --stdin-paths with strbuf_getline()
Teach codepaths that communicate with users by reading text files
to be more lenient to editors that write CRLF-terminated lines.
Note that this is only about communication with Git, like feeding
list of object names from the standard input instead of from the
command line, and does not involve files in the working tree.
Will merge to 'master'.
* dg/subtree-test (2016-01-19) 1 commit

* ls/travis-prove-order (2016-01-26) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-01-26 at d8e2a4a)
+ travis-ci: explicity use container-based infrastructure
+ travis-ci: run previously failed tests first, then slowest to fastest
By persisting runtime statistics of previous "prove" run, execute
tests that take longer before other ones, to reduce the total
wallclock time when running with Travis CI.
Will merge to 'master'.
* nd/do-not-move-worktree-manually (2016-01-22) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-01-26 at c539221)
+ worktree: stop supporting moving worktrees manually
+ worktree.c: fix indentation
"git worktree" had a broken code that attempted to auto-fix
possible inconsistency that results from end-users moving a
worktree to different places without telling Git (the original
repository needs to maintain backpointers to its worktrees, but
"mv" run by end-users who are not familiar with that fact will
obviously not adjust them), which actually made things worse
when triggered.
Will merge to 'master'.
* sb/submodule-init (2016-01-28) 2 commits
- submodule: port init from shell to C
- submodule: port resolve_relative_url from shell to C
(this branch uses sb/submodule-parallel-update; is tangled with dt/refs-backend-lmdb.)
Major part of "git submodule init" has been ported to C.
Will have to wait for 'sb/submodule-parallel-update'.
* js/dirname-basename (2016-01-25) 6 commits

+ t0060: loosen overly strict expectations
(merged to 'next' on 2016-01-12 at c3c970a)
+ t0060: verify that basename() and dirname() work as expected
+ compat/basename.c: provide a dirname() compatibility function
+ compat/basename: make basename() conform to POSIX
+ Refactor skipping DOS drive prefixes
dirname() emulation has been added, as Msys2 lacks it.

* wp/sha1-name-negative-match (2016-02-01) 2 commits
- object name: introduce '^{/!-<negative pattern>}' notation

* jk/notes-merge-from-anywhere (2016-01-17) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-01-26 at c60ac66)
+ notes: allow merging from arbitrary references
"git notes merge" used to limit the source of the merged notes tree
to somewhere under refs/notes/ hierarchy, which was too limiting
when inventing a workflow to exchange notes with remote
repositories using remote-tracking notes trees (located in e.g.
refs/remote-notes/ or somesuch).

- annotate: skip checking working tree if a revision is provided
Usability fix for annotate-specific "<file> <rev>" syntax with deleted
files.
Waiting for review.
* js/am-3-merge-recursive-direct (2015-10-12) 2 commits
- am: make a direct call to merge_recursive
- merge_recursive_options: introduce the "gently" flag
The merge_recursive_generic() function has been made a bit safer to
call from inside a process. "git am -3" was taught to make a direct
call to the function when falling back to three-way merge.
Being able to make a direct call would be good in general, but as a
performance thing, the change needs to be backed up by numbers.
Needs review.
I haven't gone through the "gently" change with fine toothed comb;
I can see that the change avoids calling die(), but I haven't made
sure that the program states (e.g. what's in the in-core index) are
adjusted sensibly when it returns to the caller instead of dying,
or the codepaths that used to die() are free of resource leaks.
The original code certainly did not care the program states at the
point of dying exactly because it knew it is going to exit, but now
they have to care, and they need to be audited.

* jc/rerere-multi (2016-01-21) 7 commits
- rerere: do use multiple variants
- t4200: rerere a merge with two identical conflicts
- rerere: allow multiple variants to exist
- rerere: delay the recording of preimage
- rerere: handle leftover rr-cache/$ID directory and postimage files
- rerere: scan $GIT_DIR/rr-cache/$ID when instantiating a rerere_id
- rerere: split conflict ID further
"git rerere" can encounter two or more files with the same conflict
signature that have to be resolved in different ways, but there was
no way to record these separate resolutions.
Needs further work on forget/gc.
* jc/merge-drop-old-syntax (2015-04-29) 1 commit
- merge: drop 'git merge <message> HEAD <commit>' syntax
Stop supporting "git merge <message> HEAD <commit>" syntax that has
been deprecated since October 2007. It has been reported that
git-gui still uses the deprecated syntax, which needs to be fixed
before this final step can proceed.
