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.
You can find the changes described here in the integration branches
of the repositories listed at

[Graduated to "master"]
* ab/gitweb-abbrev-links (2016-10-14) 3 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-17 at 4868def05e)
+ gitweb: link to "git describe"'d commits in log messages
+ gitweb: link to 7-char+ SHA-1s, not only 8-char+
+ gitweb: fix a typo in a comment
In addition to purely abbreviated commit object names, "gitweb"
learned to turn "git describe" output (e.g. v2.9.3-599-g2376d31787)
into clickable links in its output.
* bw/ls-files-recurse-submodules (2016-10-10) 4 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-17 at f0e398946a)
+ 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.
* bw/submodule-branch-dot-doc (2016-10-19) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-21 at 18aad25ba8)
+ submodules doc: update documentation for "." used for submodule branches
Recent git allows submodule.<name>.branch to use a special token
"." instead of the branch name; the documentation has been updated
to describe it.
* 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.
* ex/deprecate-empty-pathspec-as-match-all (2016-06-22) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-09-21 at e19148ea63)
+ 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.
* jc/cocci-xstrdup-or-null (2016-10-12) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-17 at 55ceaa465a)
+ cocci: refactor common patterns to use xstrdup_or_null()
Code cleanup.
* jc/diff-unique-abbrev-comments (2016-09-30) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-17 at c7fb286102)
+ diff_unique_abbrev(): document its assumption and limitation
(this branch is used by jk/no-looking-at-dotgit-outside-repo.)
A bit more comments in a tricky code.
* jc/ws-error-highlight (2016-10-04) 4 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-17 at ecbdc57d77)
+ diff: introduce diff.wsErrorHighlight option
+ diff.c: move ws-error-highlight parsing helpers up
+ diff.c: refactor parse_ws_error_highlight()
+ t4015: split out the "setup" part of ws-error-highlight test
"git diff/log --ws-error-highlight=<kind>" lacked the corresponding
configuration variable to set it by default.
* jk/ambiguous-short-object-names (2016-10-12) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-19 at e7c55a9da5)
+ t1512: become resilient to GETTEXT_POISON build
A test fixup to recently graduated topic.
* jk/diff-submodule-diff-inline (2016-10-20) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-21 at 13f300805e)
+ rev-list: use hdr_termination instead of a always using a newline
A recently graduated topic regressed "git rev-list --header"
output, breaking "gitweb". This has been fixed.
* jk/fetch-quick-tag-following (2016-10-14) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-19 at d7718dcdf5)
+ 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.
* jk/merge-base-fork-point-without-reflog (2016-10-12) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-19 at 00a6797f62)
+ merge-base: handle --fork-point without reflog
"git rebase" immediately after "git clone" failed to find the fork
point from the upstream.
* jk/tap-verbose-fix (2016-10-24) 4 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-24 at 5073a4de2d)
+ test-lib: bail out when "-v" used under "prove"
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-21 at 592679411c)
+ travis: use --verbose-log test option
+ test-lib: add --verbose-log option
+ test-lib: handle TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY with spaces
The Travis CI configuration we ship ran the tests with --verbose
option but this risks non-TAP output that happens to be "ok" to be
misinterpreted as TAP signalling a test that passed. This resulted
in unnecessary failure. This has been corrected by introducing a
new mode to run our tests in the test harness to send the verbose
output separately to the log file.
* jk/tighten-alloc (2016-10-17) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-19 at 548522a520)
+ inline xalloc_flex() into FLEXPTR_ALLOC_MEM
+ avoid pointer arithmetic involving NULL in FLEX_ALLOC_MEM
Protect our code from over-eager compilers.
* jk/upload-pack-use-prio-queue (2016-10-11) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-19 at 1d6efb07ac)
+ upload-pack: use priority queue in reachable() check
"git upload-pack" had its code cleaned-up and performance improved
by reducing use of timestamp-ordered commit-list, which was
replaced with a priority queue.
* js/libify-require-clean-work-tree (2016-10-07) 6 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-17 at f5c20df38b)
+ wt-status: begin error messages with lower-case
+ wt-status: teach has_{unstaged,uncommitted}_changes() about submodules
+ wt-status: export also the has_un{staged,committed}_changes() functions
+ wt-status: make the require_clean_work_tree() function reusable
+ pull: make code more similar to the shell script again
+ pull: drop confusing prefix parameter of die_on_unclean_work_tree()
The require_clean_work_tree() helper was recreated in C when "git
pull" was rewritten from shell; the helper is now made available to
other callers in preparation for upcoming "rebase -i" work.
* mg/gpg-richer-status (2016-10-12) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-17 at 8843a6a8be)
+ gpg-interface: use more status letters
The GPG verification status shown in "%G?" pretty format specifier
was not rich enough to differentiate a signature made by an expired
key, a signature made by a revoked key, etc. New output letters
have been assigned to express them.
* mm/credential-libsecret (2016-10-11) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-17 at 1b4af03ba4)
+ contrib: add credential helper for libsecret
A new credential helper that talks via "libsecret" with
implementations of XDG Secret Service API has been added to
contrib/credential/.
* mm/send-email-cc-cruft-after-address (2016-10-21) 3 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-21 at c7ec2b5025)
+ Git.pm: add comment pointing to t9000
+ t9000-addresses: update expected results after fix
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-19 at 41e3f876cd)
+ 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.
* pb/test-parse-options-expect (2016-10-17) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-19 at d3517d592f)
+ t0040: convert all possible tests to use `test-parse-options --expect`
Test clean-up.
* po/fix-doc-merge-base-illustration (2016-10-24) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-24 at 6539e97fcf)
+ doc: fix the 'revert a faulty merge' ASCII art tab spacing
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-21 at ac6f04a6c5)
+ doc: fix merge-base ASCII art tab spacing
Some AsciiDoc formatter mishandles a displayed illustration with
tabs in it. Adjust a few of them in merge-base documentation to
work around them.
* pt/gitgui-updates (2016-10-20) 35 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-21 at 4c8214095a)

A new version of git-gui, now at its 0.21.0 tag.
* tg/add-chmod+x-fix (2016-10-20) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-21 at 1585ac7139)
+ t3700: fix broken test under !SANITY
A hot-fix for a test added by a recent topic that went to both
'master' and 'maint' already.
* va/i18n (2016-10-17) 7 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-19 at b7d733698b)
+ i18n: diff: mark warnings for translation

More i18n.
* yk/git-tag-remove-mention-of-old-layout-in-doc (2016-10-20) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-21 at 8d9e23b023)
+ doc: remove reference to the traditional layout in git-tag.txt
Shorten description of auto-following in "git tag" by removing a
mention of historical remotes layout which is not relevant to the
main topic.

* aw/numbered-stash (2016-10-26) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-26 at 8d9325fa3a)
+ stash: allow stashes to be referenced by index only
The user always has to say "stash@{$N}" when naming a single
element in the default location of the stash, i.e. reflogs in
refs/stash. The "git stash" command learned to accept "git stash
apply 4" as a short-hand for "git stash apply stash@{4}".
Will merge to 'master'.
* jk/no-looking-at-dotgit-outside-repo-final (2016-10-26) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-26 at 220e160451)
+ setup_git_env: avoid blind fall-back to ".git"
(this branch uses jk/no-looking-at-dotgit-outside-repo.)
This is the endgame of the topic to avoid blindly falling back to
".git" when the setup sequence said we are _not_ in Git repository.
A corner case that happens to work right now may be broken by a
call to die("BUG").
Will cook in 'next'.
* ew/svn-wt (2016-10-14) 2 commits
- git-svn: "git worktree" awareness
- git-svn: reduce scope of input record separator change
Will replace with a direct pulling from Eric to 'master'.

[Stalled]
* 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.
cf. <cover.1475851621.git.hvoigt@xxxxxxxxxx>
* sb/push-make-submodule-check-the-default (2016-10-10) 2 commits
- 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.
Will hold to wait for hv/submodule-not-yet-pushed-fix
* 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.
* kn/ref-filter-branch-list (2016-05-17) 17 commits
- branch: implement '--format' option
- branch: use ref-filter printing APIs
- branch, tag: use porcelain output
- ref-filter: allow porcelain to translate messages in the output
- ref-filter: add `:dir` and `:base` options for ref printing atoms
- ref-filter: make remote_ref_atom_parser() use refname_atom_parser_internal()
- ref-filter: introduce symref_atom_parser() and refname_atom_parser()
- ref-filter: introduce refname_atom_parser_internal()
- ref-filter: make "%(symref)" atom work with the ':short' modifier
- ref-filter: add support for %(upstream:track,nobracket)
- ref-filter: make %(upstream:track) prints "[gone]" for invalid upstreams
- ref-filter: introduce format_ref_array_item()
- ref-filter: move get_head_description() from branch.c
- ref-filter: modify "%(objectname:short)" to take length
- ref-filter: implement %(if:equals=<string>) and %(if:notequals=<string>)
- ref-filter: include reference to 'used_atom' within 'atom_value'
- 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.
Needs review.
* ec/annotate-deleted (2015-11-20) 1 commit
- annotate: skip checking working tree if a revision is provided
Usability fix for annotate-specific "<file> <rev>" syntax with deleted
files.
Has been waiting for a review for too long without seeing anything.
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.

* jc/abbrev-auto (2016-10-22) 4 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-26 at 92fdb66807)
+ transport: compute summary-width dynamically
+ transport: allow summary-width to be computed dynamically
+ fetch: pass summary_width down the callchain
+ transport: pass summary_width down the callchain
(this branch uses jk/abbrev-auto and lt/abbrev-auto.)
"git push" and "git fetch" reports from what old object to what new
object each ref was updated, using abbreviated refnames, and they
attempt to align the columns for this and other pieces of
information. The way these codepaths compute how many display
columns to allocate for the object names portion of this output has
been updated to match the recent "auto scale the default
abbreviation length" change.
Will merge to 'master'.
* jc/reset-unmerge (2016-10-24) 1 commit
- reset: --unmerge
After "git add" is run prematurely during a conflict resolution,
"git diff" can no longer be used as a way to sanity check by
looking at the combined diff. "git reset" learned a new
"--unmerge" option to recover from this situation.
* jk/daemon-path-ok-check-truncation (2016-10-24) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-26 at 70c08241f6)
+ daemon: detect and reject too-long paths
"git daemon" used fixed-length buffers to turn URL to the
repository the client asked for into the server side directory
path, using snprintf() to avoid overflowing these buffers, but
allowed possibly truncated paths to the directory. This has been
tightened to reject such a request that causes overlong path to be
required to serve.
Will merge to 'master'.
* ls/git-open-cloexec (2016-10-25) 3 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-26 at f7259cbddb)
+ read-cache: make sure file handles are not inherited by child processes
+ sha1_file: open window into packfiles with O_CLOEXEC
+ sha1_file: rename git_open_noatime() to git_open()
Git generally does not explicitly close file descriptors that were
open in the parent process when spawning a child process, but most
of the time the child does not want to access them. As Windows does
not allow removing or renaming a file that has a file descriptor
open, a slow-to-exit child can even break the parent process by
holding onto them. Use O_CLOEXEC flag to open files in various
codepaths.
Will merge to 'master'.
* rs/ring-buffer-wraparound (2016-10-26) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-26 at d2da68a14a)
+ hex: make wraparound of the index into ring-buffer explicit
The code that we have used for the past 10+ years to cycle
4-element ring buffers turns out to be not quite portable in
theoretical world.
Will merge to 'master'.
* jc/merge-base-fp-only (2016-10-19) 8 commits
. merge-base: fp experiment
- merge: allow to use only the fp-only merge bases
- merge-base: limit the output to bases that are on first-parent chain
- merge-base: mark bases that are on first-parent chain
- merge-base: expose get_merge_bases_many_0() a bit more
- merge-base: stop moving commits around in remove_redundant()
- sha1_name: remove ONELINE_SEEN bit

An experiment of merge-base that ignores common ancestors that are
not on the first parent chain.

(this branch is used by jk/no-looking-at-dotgit-outside-repo-final.)
Update "git diff --no-index" codepath not to try to peek into .git/
directory that happens to be under the current directory, when we
know we are operating outside any repository.
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.

- trailer: support values folded to multiple lines
- trailer: forbid leading whitespace in trailers
- 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

* jk/abbrev-auto (2016-10-03) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-21 at 8aa3d760d8)
+ find_unique_abbrev: move logic out of get_short_sha1()
(this branch is used by jc/abbrev-auto; uses lt/abbrev-auto.)
Updates the way approximate count of total objects is computed
while attempting to come up with a unique abbreviated object name,
which in turn needs to estimate how many hexdigits are necessary to
ensure uniqueness.
Will merge to 'master'.
* nd/ita-empty-commit (2016-10-24) 4 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-26 at fb007cdae1)
+ commit: don't be fooled by ita entries when creating initial commit
+ commit: fix empty commit creation when there's no changes but ita entries
+ diff: add --ita-[in]visible-in-index
+ diff-lib: allow ita entries treated as "not yet exist in index"
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.
Will merge to 'master'.
* lt/abbrev-auto (2016-10-03) 3 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-03 at bb188d00f7)
+ abbrev: auto size the default abbreviation
+ abbrev: prepare for new world order
+ abbrev: add FALLBACK_DEFAULT_ABBREV to prepare for auto sizing
(this branch is used by jc/abbrev-auto and jk/abbrev-auto.)
Allow the default abbreviation length, which has historically been
7, to scale as the repository grows. The logic suggests to use 12
hexdigits for the Linux kernel, and 9 to 10 for Git itself.
Will hold to see if people scream.

* jc/latin-1 (2016-09-26) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-09-28 at c8673e03c2)
+ utf8: accept "latin-1" as ISO-8859-1
+ utf8: refactor code to decide fallback encoding
Some platforms no longer understand "latin-1" that is still seen in
the wild in e-mail headers; replace them with "iso-8859-1" that is
more widely known when conversion fails from/to it.
Will hold to see if people scream.
* ls/filter-process (2016-10-17) 14 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-19 at ffd0de042c)
+ contrib/long-running-filter: add long running filter example
+ convert: add filter.<driver>.process option
+ convert: prepare filter.<driver>.process option
+ convert: make apply_filter() adhere to standard Git error handling
+ pkt-line: add functions to read/write flush terminated packet streams
+ pkt-line: add packet_write_gently()
+ pkt-line: add packet_flush_gently()
+ pkt-line: add packet_write_fmt_gently()
+ pkt-line: extract set_packet_header()
+ pkt-line: rename packet_write() to packet_write_fmt()
+ run-command: add clean_on_exit_handler
+ run-command: move check_pipe() from write_or_die to run_command
+ convert: modernize tests
+ convert: quote filter names in error messages
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.
Will merge to 'master'.
* 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.

* 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.
* jc/merge-drop-old-syntax (2015-04-29) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-11 at 8928c8b9b3)
+ 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.
cf. <5671DB28.8020901@xxxxxxxx>
Will cook in 'next'.
