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.
The 'maint' branch has been accumulating enough material to make it
the next maintenance release v2.9.3, which hopefully will happen very
soon.
You can find the changes described here in the integration branches
of the repositories listed at

[Graduated to "master"]
* cc/mailmap-tuxfamily (2016-08-08) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-08-10 at 5905fbf)
+ .mailmap: use Christian Couder's Tuxfamily address
* jk/completion-diff-submodule (2016-08-09) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-08-10 at 146ca11)
+ completion: add completion for --submodule=* diff option
* jk/push-force-with-lease-creation (2016-08-04) 4 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-08-04 at e42ce85)
+ t5533: make it pass on case-sensitive filesystems
(merged to 'next' on 2016-08-03 at 475c080)
+ push: allow pushing new branches with --force-with-lease
+ push: add shorthand for --force-with-lease branch creation
+ Documentation/git-push: fix placeholder formatting
"git push --force-with-lease" already had enough logic to allow
ensuring that such a push results in creation of a ref (i.e. the
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.
* jk/reset-ident-time-per-commit (2016-08-01) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-08-03 at 76d569c)
+ am: reset cached ident date for each patch
Not-so-recent rewrite of "git am" that started making internal
calls into the commit machinery had an unintended regression, in
that no matter how many seconds it took to apply many patches, the
resulting committer timestamp for the resulting commits were all
the same.
* js/am-3-merge-recursive-direct (2016-08-01) 16 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-08-05 at dc1c9bb)
+ merge-recursive: flush output buffer even when erroring out
+ merge_trees(): ensure that the callers release output buffer
+ merge-recursive: offer an option to retain the output in 'obuf'
+ merge-recursive: write the commit title in one go
+ merge-recursive: flush output buffer before printing error messages
+ am -3: use merge_recursive() directly again
+ merge-recursive: switch to returning errors instead of dying
+ merge-recursive: handle return values indicating errors
+ merge-recursive: allow write_tree_from_memory() to error out
+ merge-recursive: avoid returning a wholesale struct
+ merge_recursive: abort properly upon errors
+ prepare the builtins for a libified merge_recursive()
+ merge-recursive: clarify code in was_tracked()
+ die(_("BUG")): avoid translating bug messages
+ die("bug"): report bugs consistently
+ t5520: verify that `pull --rebase` shows the helpful advice when failing
"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.
* js/commit-slab-decl-fix (2016-08-09) 2 commits

(merged to 'next' on 2016-08-05 at 897e986)
+ format-patch: format.from gives the default for --from
"git format-patch" learned format.from configuration variable to
specify the default settings for its "--from" option.
* sb/submodule-update-dot-branch (2016-08-10) 8 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-08-10 at 40ba945)

The http-backend (the server-side component of smart-http
transport) used to trickle the HTTP header one at a time. Now
these write(2)s are batched.

* ms/document-pack-window-memory-is-per-thread (2016-08-10) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-08-11 at 228e96d)

Will merge to 'master'.
* jk/diff-submodule-diff-inline (2016-08-11) 5 commits
- SQUASH??? clarify the if/{if/else} nesting
- SQUASH???
- diff: add SUBMODULE_DIFF format to display submodule diff
- diff: add --line-prefix option for passing in a prefix
- diff.c: remove output_prefix_length field
The "git diff --submodule={short,log}" mechanism has been enhanced
to allow "--submodule=diff" to show the patch between the submodule
commits bound to the superproject.
* jk/reduce-gc-aggressive-depth (2016-08-11) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-08-11 at 6810c6f)
+ gc: default aggressive depth to 50
"git gc --aggressive" used to limit the delta-chain length to 250,
which is way too deep for gaining additional space savings and is
detrimental for runtime performance. The limit has been reduced to
50.
Will hold to see if people scream.
--------------------------------------------------
[Stalled]
* 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. It is likely that to support a "prime clone from CDN", it
would need a lot more than just "these are the heads and the pack
data is over there", so this may not be sufficient.
Will discard.
* 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.
Has been waiting for positive responses without seeing any.
Will discard.
* dt/index-helper (2016-07-06) 21 commits
- index-helper: indexhelper.exitAfter config
- trace: measure where the time is spent in the index-heavy operations
- index-helper: optionally automatically run
- index-helper: autorun mode
- index-helper: don't run if already running
- index-helper: kill mode
- watchman: add a config option to enable the extension
- unpack-trees: preserve index extensions
- update-index: enable/disable watchman support
- index-helper: use watchman to avoid refreshing index with lstat()

- pkt-line: add gentle version of packet_write
- read-cache: allow to keep mmap'd memory after reading
- read-cache.c: fix constness of verify_hdr()
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.

- attr: add counted string version of git_check_attr()
- attr: retire git_check_attrs() API
- attr: convert git_check_attrs() callers to use the new API
- attr: convert git_all_attrs() to use "struct git_attr_check"
- attr: (re)introduce git_check_attr() and struct git_attr_check
- attr: rename function and struct related to checking attributes
- attr.c: plug small leak in parse_attr_line()
- attr.c: tighten constness around "git_attr" structure
- attr.c: simplify macroexpand_one()
- attr.c: mark where #if DEBUG ends more clearly
- attr.c: complete a sentence in a comment
- attr.c: explain the lack of attr-name syntax check in parse_attr()
- attr.c: update a stale comment on "struct match_attr"
- attr.c: use strchrnul() to scan for one line
- commit.c: use strchrnul() to scan for one line
(this branch is used by jc/attr-more, sb/pathspec-label and sb/submodule-default-paths.)
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.
As the authors of topics that depend on this seem not in a hurry,
let's discard this and dependent topics and restart them some other
day.
Will discard.
* jc/attr-more (2016-06-09) 8 commits
- attr.c: outline the future plans by heavily commenting
- attr.c: always pass check[] to collect_some_attrs()
- attr.c: introduce empty_attr_check_elems()
- attr.c: correct ugly hack for git_all_attrs()
- attr.c: rename a local variable check
- fixup! d5ad6c13
- attr.c: pass struct git_attr_check down the callchain
- attr.c: add push_stack() helper
(this branch uses jc/attr; is tangled with sb/pathspec-label and sb/submodule-default-paths.)
The beginning of long and tortuous journey to clean-up attribute
subsystem implementation.
Needs to be redone.
Will discard.
* sb/submodule-default-paths (2016-06-20) 5 commits
- completion: clone can recurse into submodules
- clone: add --init-submodule=<pathspec> switch
- submodule update: add `--init-default-path` switch
- Merge branch 'sb/pathspec-label' into sb/submodule-default-paths
- Merge branch 'jc/attr' into sb/submodule-default-paths
(this branch uses jc/attr and sb/pathspec-label; is tangled with jc/attr-more.)
Allow specifying the set of submodules the user is interested in on
the command line of "git clone" that clones the superproject.
Will discard.
* 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.
Will discard.
* mh/connect (2016-06-06) 10 commits
- connect: [host:port] is legacy for ssh
- connect: move ssh command line preparation to a separate function
- connect: actively reject git:// urls with a user part
- connect: change the --diag-url output to separate user and host
- connect: make parse_connect_url() return the user part of the url as a separate value
- connect: group CONNECT_DIAG_URL handling code
- connect: make parse_connect_url() return separated host and port
- connect: re-derive a host:port string from the separate host and port variables
- connect: call get_host_and_port() earlier
- connect: document why we sometimes call get_port after get_host_and_port
Rewrite Git-URL parsing routine (hopefully) without changing any
behaviour.
It has been two months without any support. We may want to discard
this.
* sb/bisect (2016-04-15) 22 commits

. t: use test_cmp_rev() where appropriate
. t/test-lib-functions.sh: generalize test_cmp_rev
. bisect: allow 'bisect run' if no good commit is known
. 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.

. 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-mru (2016-08-11) 4 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-08-11 at c0a7dae)
+ pack-objects: use mru list when iterating over packs
+ pack-objects: break delta cycles before delta-search phase
+ sha1_file: make packed_object_info public
+ provide an initializer for "struct object_info"
"git pack-objects" in a repository with many packfiles used to
spend a lot of time looking for/at objects in them; the accesses to
the packfiles are now optimized by checking the most-recently-used
packfile first.
Will hold to see if people scream.
* kw/patch-ids-optim (2016-08-11) 4 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-08-11 at f3ba3d0)
+ 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 'master'.
* 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.

* dp/autoconf-curl-ssl (2016-06-28) 1 commit
- ./configure.ac: detect SSL in libcurl using curl-config
The ./configure script generated from configure.ac was taught how
to detect support of SSL by libcurl better.
Needs review.
* jc/pull-rebase-ff (2016-07-28) 1 commit
- pull: fast-forward "pull --rebase=true"
"git pull --rebase", when there is no new commits on our side since
we forked from the upstream, should be able to fast-forward without
invoking "git rebase", but it didn't.
Needs a real log message and a few tests.
* ex/deprecate-empty-pathspec-as-match-all (2016-06-22) 1 commit
(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.

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.

* 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.
