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.
We may have to start thinking about 2.10.2; there are about a dozen
and half fixes accumulated on the 'maint' front.
You can find the changes described here in the integration branches
of the repositories listed at

+ mergetool: honor -O<orderfile>
+ mergetool: honor diff.orderFile
+ mergetool: move main program flow into a main() function

* dt/http-empty-auth (2016-10-04) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-10 at 10b7b0a6a5)
+ http: http.emptyauth should allow empty (not just NULL) usernames
http.emptyauth configuration is a way to allow an empty username to
pass when attempting to authenticate using mechanisms like
Kerberos. We took an unspecified (NULL) username and sent ":"
(i.e. no username, no password) to CURLOPT_USERPWD, but did not do
the same when the username is explicitly set to an empty string.
* jk/alt-odb-cleanup (2016-10-10) 18 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-10 at d2ed6b6d21)
+ alternates: use fspathcmp to detect duplicates
+ sha1_file: always allow relative paths to alternates
+ count-objects: report alternates via verbose mode
+ fill_sha1_file: write into a strbuf
+ alternates: store scratch buffer as strbuf
+ fill_sha1_file: write "boring" characters
+ alternates: use a separate scratch space
+ alternates: encapsulate alt->base munging
+ alternates: provide helper for allocating alternate
+ alternates: provide helper for adding to alternates list

(this branch is used by jk/quarantine-received-objects.)
Codepaths involved in interacting alternate object store have
been cleaned up.
* jk/clone-copy-alternates-fix (2016-10-05) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-10 at 8154134c8c)
+ clone: detect errors in normalize_path_copy
"git clone" of a local repository can be done at the filesystem
level, but the codepath did not check errors while copying and
adjusting the file that lists alternate object stores.
* jk/quarantine-received-objects (2016-10-10) 5 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-10 at 0fd3e3b2ef)
+ tmp-objdir: do not migrate files starting with '.'
+ tmp-objdir: put quarantine information in the environment
+ receive-pack: quarantine objects until pre-receive accepts
+ tmp-objdir: introduce API for temporary object directories
+ check_connected: accept an env argument
(this branch uses jk/alt-odb-cleanup.)
In order for the receiving end of "git push" to inspect the
received history and decide to reject the push, the objects sent
from the sending end need to be made available to the hook and
the mechanism for the connectivity check, and this was done
traditionally by storing the objects in the receiving repository
and letting "git gc" to expire it. Instead, store the newly
received objects in a temporary area, and make them available by
reusing the alternate object store mechanism to them only while we
decide if we accept the check, and once we decide, either migrate
them to the repository or purge them immediately.
* jk/ref-symlink-loop (2016-10-10) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-11 at ac5c35f87f)
+ files_read_raw_ref: prevent infinite retry loops in general
+ files_read_raw_ref: avoid infinite loop on broken symlinks
A stray symbolic link in $GIT_DIR/refs/ directory could make name
resolution loop forever, which has been corrected.
* js/regexec-buf (2016-10-10) 1 commit

* sb/submodule-config-doc-drop-path (2016-10-11) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-11 at 28fc3e53f9)
+ documentation: improve submodule.<name>.{url, path} description
The "submodule.<name>.path" stored in .gitmodules is never copied
to .git/config and such a key in .git/config has no meaning, but
the documentation described it and submodule.<name>.url next to
each other as if both belong to .git/config. This has been fixed.

* dk/worktree-dup-checkout-with-bare-is-ok (2016-10-14) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-17 at 24594d3e56)
+ worktree: allow the main brach of a bare repository to be checked out
In a worktree connected to a repository elsewhere, created via "git
worktree", "git checkout" attempts to protect users from confusion
by refusing to check out a branch that is already checked out in
another worktree. However, this also prevented checking out a
branch, which is designated as the primary branch of a bare
reopsitory, in a worktree that is connected to the bare
repository. The check has been corrected to allow it.
Will merge to 'master'.
* jc/cocci-xstrdup-or-null (2016-10-12) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-17 at 55ceaa465a)

Code cleanup.
Will merge to 'master'.
* tb/convert-stream-check (2016-10-12) 2 commits
- convert.c: stream and fast search for binary
- read-cache: factor out get_sha1_from_index() helper
End-of-line conversion sometimes needs to see if the current blob
in the index has NULs and CRs to base its decision. We used to
always get a full statistics over the blob, but in many cases we
can return early when we have seen "enough" (e.g. if we see a
single NUL, the blob will be handled as binary). The codepaths
have been optimized by using streaming interface.
Waiting for review.
* jk/ambiguous-short-object-names (2016-10-12) 1 commit
- t1512: become resilient to GETTEXT_POISON build
A test fixup to recently graduated topic.
Will merge to 'next'.
* jk/merge-base-fork-point-without-reflog (2016-10-12) 1 commit

point from the upstream.
Will merge to 'next'.
* jk/upload-pack-use-prio-queue (2016-10-11) 1 commit

Code clean-up and performance improvement to reduce use of
timestamp-ordered commit-list by replacing it with a priority
queue.
Will merge to 'next'.
* jk/fetch-quick-tag-following (2016-10-14) 1 commit
- fetch: use "quick" has_sha1_file for tag following
When fetching from a remote that has many tags that are irrelevant
to branches we are following, we used to waste way too many cycles
when checking if the object pointed at by a tag (that we are not
going to fetch!) exists in our repository too carefully.
Will merge to 'next'.
* jt/trailer-with-cruft (2016-10-14) 6 commits
- trailer: support values folded to multiple lines
- trailer: allow non-trailers in trailer block
- trailer: make args have their own struct
- trailer: streamline trailer item create and add
- trailer: use list.h for doubly-linked list
- trailer: improve const correctness
Update "interpret-trailers" machinery and teaches it that people in
real world write all sorts of crufts in the "trailer" that was
originally designed to have the neat-o "Mail-Header: like thing"
and nothing else.
Waiting for review.
* mm/send-email-cc-cruft-after-address (2016-10-14) 1 commit
- parse_mailboxes: accept extra text after <...> address
"git send-email" attempts to pick up valid e-mails from the
trailers, but people in real world write non-addresses there, like
"Cc: Stable <add@xxxxx> # 4.8+", which broke the output depending
on the availability and vintage of Mail::Address perl module.

* 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.
* 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.

. 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.

* jk/abbrev-auto (2016-10-03) 1 commit
- find_unique_abbrev: move logic out of get_short_sha1()

Updates the way approximate count of total objects is computed

which in turn needs to estimate how many hexdigits are necessary to
ensure uniqueness.

* nd/ita-empty-commit (2016-09-28) 3 commits
- commit: don't be fooled by ita entries when creating initial commit
- diff-lib.c: enable --shift-ita in index_differs_from()
- Resurrect "diff-lib.c: adjust position of i-t-a entries in diff"
When new paths were added by "git add -N" to the index, it was
enough to circumvent the check by "git commit" to refrain from
making an empty commit without "--allow-empty". The same logic
prevented "git status" to show such a path as "new file" in the
"Changes not staged for commit" section.
Expecting a reroll.

other callers in preparation for upcoming "rebase -i" work.
Will merge to 'master'.

+ ls-files: add pathspec matching for submodules
+ ls-files: pass through safe options for --recurse-submodules
+ ls-files: optionally recurse into submodules
+ git: make super-prefix option
"git ls-files" learned "--recurse-submodules" option that can be
used to get a listing of tracked files across submodules (i.e. this
only works with "--cached" option, not for listing untracked or
ignored files). This would be a useful tool to sit on the upstream
side of a pipe that is read with xargs to work on all working tree
files from the top-level superproject.
Will merge to 'master'.

The smudge/clean filter API expect an external process is spawned
to filter the contents for each path that has a filter defined. A
new type of "process" filter API has been added to allow the first
request to run the filter for a path to spawn a single process, and
all filtering need is served by this single process for multiple
paths, reducing the process creation overhead.
* hv/submodule-not-yet-pushed-fix (2016-10-10) 3 commits
- batch check whether submodule needs pushing into one call
- serialize collection of refs that contain submodule changes
- serialize collection of changed submodules
The code in "git push" to compute if any commit being pushed in the
superproject binds a commit in a submodule that hasn't been pushed
out was overly inefficient, making it unusable even for a small
project that does not have any submodule but have a reasonable
number of refs.
Waiting for review.

* sg/fix-versioncmp-with-common-suffix (2016-09-08) 5 commits
- versioncmp: cope with common leading parts in versionsort.prereleaseSuffix
- versioncmp: pass full tagnames to swap_prereleases()
- t7004-tag: add version sort tests to show prerelease reordering issues
- t7004-tag: use test_config helper
- t7004-tag: delete unnecessary tags with test_when_finished
The prereleaseSuffix feature of version comparison that is used in
"git tag -l" did not correctly when two or more prereleases for the
same release were present (e.g. when 2.0, 2.0-beta1, and 2.0-beta2
are there and the code needs to compare 2.0-beta1 and 2.0-beta2).
Waiting for a reroll.

- push: change submodule default to check when submodules exist
- submodule add: extend force flag to add existing repos
Turn the default of "push.recurseSubmodules" to "check" when
submodules seem to be in use.

* 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.

+ pathspec: warn on empty strings as pathspec
Originally merged to 'next' on 2016-07-13
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.

+ 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.
