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.
Git v2.10.2, the second maintenance release for 2.10.x track, has
been tagged. On the master front, things are getting close for
v2.11.0-rc0, the preview snapshot for the upcoming 2.11.0 release.
You can find the changes described here in the integration branches
of the repositories listed at

[Graduated to "master"]
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* jk/no-looking-at-dotgit-outside-repo (2016-10-26) 6 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-26 at 4aa877b578)
+ diff: handle sha1 abbreviations outside of repository
+ diff_aligned_abbrev: use "struct oid"
+ diff_unique_abbrev: rename to diff_aligned_abbrev
+ find_unique_abbrev: use 4-buffer ring
+ test-*-cache-tree: setup git dir
+ read info/{attributes,exclude} only when in repository
(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.
* js/prepare-sequencer (2016-10-21) 27 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-26 at 12be8ebe90)
+ sequencer: mark all error messages for translation
+ sequencer: start error messages consistently with lower case
+ sequencer: quote filenames in error messages
+ sequencer: mark action_name() for translation
+ sequencer: remove overzealous assumption in rebase -i mode
+ sequencer: teach write_message() to append an optional LF
+ sequencer: refactor write_message() to take a pointer/length
+ sequencer: roll back lock file if write_message() failed
+ sequencer: stop releasing the strbuf in write_message()
+ sequencer: left-trim lines read from the script
+ sequencer: support cleaning up commit messages
+ sequencer: support amending commits
+ sequencer: allow editing the commit message on a case-by-case basis
+ sequencer: introduce a helper to read files written by scripts
+ sequencer: prepare for rebase -i's commit functionality
+ sequencer: remember the onelines when parsing the todo file
+ sequencer: get rid of the subcommand field
+ sequencer: avoid completely different messages for different actions
+ sequencer: strip CR from the todo script
+ sequencer: completely revamp the "todo" script parsing
+ sequencer: refactor the code to obtain a short commit name
+ sequencer: future-proof read_populate_todo()
+ sequencer: plug memory leaks for the option values
+ sequencer: future-proof remove_sequencer_state()
+ sequencer: avoid unnecessary indirection
+ sequencer: use memoized sequencer directory path
+ sequencer: use static initializers for replay_opts
Update of the sequencer codebase to make it reusable to reimplement
"rebase -i" continues.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* sb/submodule-ignore-trailing-slash (2016-10-25) 3 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-26 at e56a8ebb38)
+ t0060: sidestep surprising path mangling results on Windows
(merged to 'next' on 2016-10-11 at e37425ed17)
+ submodule: ignore trailing slash in relative url
+ submodule: ignore trailing slash on superproject URL
A minor regression fix for "git submodule".

* nd/rebase-forget (2016-10-28) 1 commit
- rebase: add --forget to cleanup rebase, leave HEAD untouched
"git rebase" learned "--forget" option, which allows a user to
remove the metadata left by an earlier "git rebase" that was
manually aborted without using "git rebase --abort".
* jc/git-open-cloexec (2016-10-28) 2 commits
- sha1_file: stop opening files with O_NOATIME
- git_open(): untangle possible NOATIME and CLOEXEC interactions
(this branch uses ls/git-open-cloexec.)
The codeflow of setting NOATIME and CLOEXEC on file descriptors Git
opens has been simplified.
We probably want to drop the tip one.

[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.

* sb/push-make-submodule-check-the-default (2016-10-10) 2 commits

- 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/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

The code to list branches in "git branch" has been consolidated
with the more generic ref-filter API.

. 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.

[Cooking]
* 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 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'.
* 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.
* 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()
(this branch is used by jc/git-open-cloexec.)
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'.
* 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
- commit: simplify fastpath of merge-base
An experiment of merge-base that ignores common ancestors that are
not on the first parent chain.
* tb/convert-stream-check (2016-10-27) 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.
The tip seems to do too much in a single commit and may be better split.

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.
