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.
On the 'master' front, the individual commit count now exceeds 400
since the last major release, which is a good pace. We may want to
start slowing down once the current crop of topics in 'next' hits
the 'master' and switch our attention to regression hunting. The
'maint' branch has been accumulating enough material to make it the
next maintenance release v2.9.3.
You can find the changes described here in the integration branches
of the repositories listed at
http://git-blame.blogspot.com/p/git-public-repositories.html

"git format-patch" learned format.from configuration variable to
specify the default settings for its "--from" option.
* rs/st-mult (2016-08-01) 1 commit

* jc/hashmap-doc-init (2016-08-02) 1 commit
- hashmap: clarify that hashmap_entry can safely be discarded
The API documentation for hashmap was unclear if hashmap_entry
can be safely discarded without any other consideration. State
that it is safe to do so.

* jh/clean-smudge-annex (2016-08-01) 9 commits
- use smudgeToFile filter in recursive merge
- use smudgeToFile filter in git am
- better recovery from failure of smudgeToFile filter
- warn on unusable smudgeToFile/cleanFromFile config
- use smudgeToFile in git checkout etc
- use cleanFromFile in git add
- add smudgeToFile and cleanFromFile filter configs
- clarify %f documentation
- Merge branch 'cc/apply-am' into HEAD
(this branch uses cc/apply-am.)
The interface to "clean/smudge" filters require Git to feed the
whole contents via pipe, which is suboptimal for some applications.
"cleanFromFile/smudgeToFile" commands are the moral equilvalents
for these filters but they interact with the files on the
filesystem directly.
This is starting to bit-rot, as the topic it is built upon keeps
getting rerolled. I _think_ I rebased it correctly, but I would
not be surprised if I made a mistake.
Will discard if/when I have to do another rebase, preferring to
have a fresh reroll directly from the author.
* sb/bisect (2016-04-15) 22 commits

. t: use test_cmp_rev() where appropriate
. t/test-lib-functions.sh: generalize test_cmp_rev

. bisect: write about `bisect next` in documentation
The internal algorithm used in "git bisect" to find the next commit
to check has been optimized greatly.
Was expecting a reroll, but now pb/bisect topic starts removinging
more and more parts from git-bisect.sh, this needs to see a fresh
reroll.
Will discard for now.

. 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.

* jk/pack-objects-optim (2016-07-29) 7 commits
- pack-objects: use mru list when iterating over packs
- pack-objects: compute local/ignore_pack_keep early
- pack-objects: break out of want_object loop early
- find_pack_entry: replace last_found_pack with MRU cache
- add generic most-recently-used list
- sha1_file: drop free_pack_by_name
- t/perf: add tests for many-pack scenarios
"git pack-objects" has a few options that tell it not to pack
objects found in certain packfiles, which require it to scan .idx
files of all available packs. The codepaths involved in these
operations have been optimized for a common case of not having any
non-local pack and/or any .kept pack.
The last patch is still questionable in that it can attempt to
create a cycle in delta-chain, only to be stopped by the last-ditch
recovery logic in there.
* kw/patch-ids-optim (2016-07-29) 4 commits
- rebase: avoid computing unnecessary patch IDs
- patch-ids: add flag to create the diff patch id using header only data
- patch-ids: replace the seen indicator with a commit pointer
- patch-ids: stop using a hand-rolled hashmap implementation
When "git rebase" tries to compare set of changes on the updated
upstream and our own branch, it computes patch-id for all of these
changes and attempts to find matches. This has been optimized by
lazily computing the full patch-id (which is expensive) to be
compared only for changes that touch the same set of paths.
Will merge to 'next'.
* jk/rebase-i-drop-ident-check (2016-07-29) 1 commit
- rebase-interactive: drop early check for valid ident
Even when "git pull --rebase=preserve" (and the underlying "git
rebase --preserve") can complete without creating any new commit
(i.e. fast-forwards), it still insisted on having a usable ident
information (read: user.email is set correctly), which was less
than nice. As the underlying commands used inside "git rebase"
would fail with a more meaningful error message and advice text
when the bogus ident matters, this extra check was removed.
Will hold.

* jk/reset-ident-time-per-commit (2016-08-01) 1 commit
- am: reset cached ident date for each patch
Not-so-recent rewrite of "git am" that started making internal

that no matter how many seconds it took to apply many patches, the
resulting committer timestamp for the resulting commits were all
the same.

(merged to 'next' on 2016-07-26 at 9d71562)
+ subtree: fix "git subtree split --rejoin"
+ t7900-subtree.sh: fix quoting and broken && chains
(this branch is used by da/subtree-modernize.)
"git merge" in Git v2.9 was taught to forbid merging an unrelated
lines of history by default, but that is exactly the kind of thing
the "--rejoin" mode of "git subtree" (in contrib/) wants to do.
"git subtree" has been taught to use the "--allow-unrelated-histories"
option to override the default.

* jk/diff-do-not-reuse-wtf-needs-cleaning (2016-07-22) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-07-28 at e3c5190)
+ diff: do not reuse worktree files that need "clean" conversion
There is an optimization used in "git diff $treeA $treeB" to borrow
an already checked-out copy in the working tree when it is known to
be the same as the blob being compared, expecting that open/mmap of
such a file is faster than reading it from the object store, which
involves inflating and applying delta. This however kicked in even
when the checked-out copy needs to go through the convert-to-git
conversion (including the clean filter), which defeats the whole
point of the optimization. The optimization has been disabled when
the conversion is necessary.

(merged to 'next' on 2016-07-28 at 219bc3a)
+ parse_options: allocate a new array when concatenating
Users of the parse_options_concat() API function needs to allocate
extra slots in advance and fill them with OPT_END() when they want
to decide the set of options to support dynamically, which is
error-prone and hard to read. This has been corrected by tweaking
the API to allocate and return a new copy of "struct option" array.

"git push --force-with-lease" already had enough logic to allow

receiving end did not have another push from sideways that would be
discarded by our force-pushing), but didn't expose this possibility
to the users. It does so now.

(merged to 'next' on 2016-07-28 at 5606b14)
+ fetch-pack: grow stateless RPC windows exponentially
"git fetch" exchanges batched have/ack messages between the sender
and the receiver, initially doubling every time and then falling
back to use the maximum window size. The "smart http" transport,
being an half-duplex protocol, outgrows the preset limit too
quickly and becomes inefficient when interacting with a large
repository. The internal mechanism learned to grow the window size
more aggressively when working with the "smart http" transport.

"git am -3" calls "git merge-recursive" when it needs to fall back
to a three-way merge; this call has been turned into an internal
subroutine call instead of spawning a separate subprocess.
These mostly looked sensible, but it is dubious if it is a good
feature to send what is meant to the standard error to the standard
output.
Eyes from other people are highly appreciated, as my eyes (and the
original author's, too) have rotten by staring many rerolls of the
same topic and are not effective in spotting errors.

(merged to 'next' on 2016-07-13 at d9ca7fb)
+ pathspec: warn on empty strings as pathspec
An empty string used as a pathspec element has always meant
'everything matches', but it is too easy to write a script that
finds a path to remove in $path and run 'git rm "$paht"', which
ends up removing everything. Start warning about this use of an
empty string used for 'everything matches' and ask users to use a
more explicit '.' for that instead.
The hope is that existing users will not mind this change, and
eventually the warning can be turned into a hard error, upgrading
the deprecation into removal of this (mis)feature.
Will hold to see if people scream.

* jc/blame-reverse (2016-06-14) 2 commits
- blame: dwim "blame --reverse OLD" as "blame --reverse OLD.."
- blame: improve diagnosis for "--reverse NEW"
It is a common mistake to say "git blame --reverse OLD path",
expecting that the command line is dwimmed as if asking how lines
in path in an old revision OLD have survived up to the current
commit.
Any supporters? Otherwise will drop.
* nd/shallow-deepen (2016-06-13) 27 commits
- fetch, upload-pack: --deepen=N extends shallow boundary by N commits
- upload-pack: add get_reachable_list()
- upload-pack: split check_unreachable() in two, prep for get_reachable_list()

- transport-helper.c: refactor set_helper_option()
- remote-curl.c: convert fetch_git() to use argv_array
The existing "git fetch --depth=<n>" option was hard to use
correctly when making the history of an existing shallow clone
deeper. A new option, "--deepen=<n>", has been added to make this
easier to use. "git clone" also learned "--shallow-since=<date>"
and "--shallow-exclude=<tag>" options to make it easier to specify
"I am interested only in the recent N months worth of history" and
"Give me only the history since that version".
Needs review.
Rerolled. What this topic attempts to achieve is worthwhile, I
would think.

The attributes API has been updated so that it can later be
optimized using the knowledge of which attributes are queried.
I wanted to polish this topic further to make the attribute
subsystem thread-ready, but because other topics depend on this
topic and they do not (yet) need it to be thread-ready, let's merge
this early part together with the dependent topics to 'next', and
back-burner the threading enhancement to another day.

I'd prefer to see early part solidified so that reviews can focus
on the later part that is still in flux. We are almost there but
not quite yet.
* sb/pathspec-label (2016-06-03) 6 commits
- pathspec: disable preload-index when attribute pathspec magic is in use
- pathspec: allow escaped query values
- pathspec: allow querying for attributes
- pathspec: move prefix check out of the inner loop
- pathspec: move long magic parsing out of prefix_pathspec
- Documentation: fix a typo
(this branch is used by sb/submodule-default-paths; uses jc/attr; is tangled with jc/attr-more.)
The pathspec mechanism learned ":(attr:X)$pattern" pathspec magic
to limit paths that match $pattern further by attribute settings.
The preload-index mechanism is disabled when the new pathspec magic
is in use (at least for now), because the attribute subsystem is
not thread-ready.
* kn/ref-filter-branch-list (2016-05-17) 17 commits

- ref-filter: implement %(if), %(then), and %(else) atoms
The code to list branches in "git branch" has been consolidated
with the more generic ref-filter API.
Rerolled.
This also really needs review.

A new "index-helper" daemon has been introduced to give newly
spawned Git process a quicker access to the data in the index, and
optionally interface with the watchman daemon to further reduce the
refresh cost.
Not quite ready yet, it seems.

* jc/bundle (2016-03-03) 6 commits
- index-pack: --clone-bundle option
- Merge branch 'jc/index-pack' into jc/bundle
- bundle v3: the beginning
- bundle: keep a copy of bundle file name in the in-core bundle header
- bundle: plug resource leak
- bundle doc: 'verify' is not about verifying the bundle
The beginning of "split bundle", which could be one of the
ingredients to allow "git clone" traffic off of the core server
network to CDN.
While I think it would make it easier for people to experiment and
build on if the topic is merged to 'next', I am at the same time a
bit reluctant to merge an unproven new topic that introduces a new
file format, which we may end up having to support til the end of
time. Comments?
* 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, and issues a deprecation
warning message since v2.5.0.
It has been reported that git-gui still uses the deprecated syntax,
which needs to be fixed before this final step can proceed.
