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

[New Topics]
* jc/for-each-ref-head-segfault-fix (2016-11-18) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-11-21 at 3c1f352316)
+ for-each-ref: do not segv with %(HEAD) on an unborn branch
Using a %(HEAD) placeholder in "for-each-ref --format=" option
caused the command to segfault when on an unborn branch.
Will cook in 'next'.
* js/prepare-sequencer (2016-11-21) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-11-21 at 7cdf4ca421)
+ i18n: fix unmatched single quote in error message
Fix for an error message string.
Will merge to 'master'.
* js/rebase-i-commentchar-fix (2016-11-21) 3 commits
- rebase -i: handle core.commentChar=auto
- stripspace: respect repository config
- rebase -i: highlight problems with core.commentchar
"git rebase -i" did not work well with core.commentchar
configuration variable for two reasons, both of which have been
fixed.
Waiting for an ack for updates.
Hopefully we can merge this before 2.11 final, as one of the
breakages is a recent regression.

* jk/create-branch-remove-unused-param (2016-11-09) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2016-11-16 at 621254c832)
+ create_branch: drop unused "head" parameter
Code clean-up.
* nd/worktree-lock (2016-11-13) 1 commit

* 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.
* 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.

- gc: clean garbage .bitmap files from pack dir
- t5304: ensure non-garbage files are not deleted
- t5304: test .bitmap garbage files
- prepare_packed_git(): find more garbage
Follow-on to dk/gc-idx-wo-pack topic, to clean up stale
.bitmap and .keep files.
Has been waiting for a reroll for too long.

* jc/diff-b-m (2015-02-23) 5 commits
. 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.

* dt/empty-submodule-in-merge (2016-11-17) 1 commit
- submodules: allow empty working-tree dirs in merge/cherry-pick
An empty directory in a working tree that can simply be nuked used
to interfere while merging or cherry-picking a change to create a
submodule directory there, which has been fixed..
Waiting for review.
* bw/grep-recurse-submodules (2016-11-18) 6 commits
- grep: search history of moved submodules
- grep: enable recurse-submodules to work on <tree> objects
- grep: optionally recurse into submodules
- grep: add submodules as a grep source type
- submodules: load gitmodules file from commit sha1
- submodules: add helper functions to determine presence of submodules
"git grep" learns to optionally recurse into submodules
Waiting for review.
* dt/smart-http-detect-server-going-away (2016-11-18) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-11-21 at d502523347)
+ upload-pack: optionally allow fetching any sha1
+ remote-curl: don't hang when a server dies before any output
When the http server gives an incomplete response to a smart-http
rpc call, it could lead to client waiting for a full response that
will never come. Teach the client side to notice this condition
and abort the transfer.
An improvement counterproposal has failed.

Seems to break a test or two.
* jc/compression-config (2016-11-15) 1 commit
- compression: unify pack.compression configuration parsing
Compression setting for producing packfiles were spread across
three codepaths, one of which did not honor any configuration.
Unify these so that all of them honor core.compression and
pack.compression variables the same way.
Needs tests for pack-objects and fast-import.
* mm/gc-safety-doc (2016-11-16) 1 commit

* hv/submodule-not-yet-pushed-fix (2016-11-16) 4 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-11-21 at 1a599af962)
+ submodule_needs_pushing(): explain the behaviour when we cannot answer
+ 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.
Will cook in 'next'.
* kn/ref-filter-branch-list (2016-11-15) 18 commits
- for-each-ref: do not segv with %(HEAD) on an unborn branch
- 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: 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, reviewed, looking good.
Expecting a reroll.

* jc/abbrev-autoscale-config (2016-11-01) 1 commit
- config.abbrev: document the new default that auto-scales
Waiting for a reroll.
* jk/nofollow-attr-ignore (2016-11-02) 5 commits
- exclude: do not respect symlinks for in-tree .gitignore
- attr: do not respect symlinks for in-tree .gitattributes
- exclude: convert "check_index" into a flags field
- attr: convert "macro_ok" into a flags field
- add open_nofollow() helper
As we do not follow symbolic links when reading control files like
.gitignore and .gitattributes from the index, match the behaviour
and not follow symbolic links when reading them from the working
tree. This also tightens security a bit by not leaking contents of
an unrelated file in the error messages when it is pointed at by
one of these files that is a symbolic link.
Perhaps we want to cover .gitmodules too with the same mechanism?
* sb/submodule-config-cleanup (2016-11-02) 3 commits
- submodule-config: clarify parsing of null_sha1 element
- submodule-config: rename commit_sha1 to commit_or_tree
- submodule config: inline config_from_{name, path}
What's the doneness of this topic?
* jc/push-default-explicit (2016-10-31) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2016-11-01 at 8dc3a6cf25)
+ push: test pushing ambiguously named branches
+ push: do not use potentially ambiguous default refspec
A lazy "git push" without refspec did not internally use a fully
specified refspec to perform 'current', 'simple', or 'upstream'
push, causing unnecessary "ambiguous ref" errors.
Will cook in 'next'.
* jt/use-trailer-api-in-commands (2016-11-02) 6 commits
- sequencer: use trailer's trailer layout
- trailer: have function to describe trailer layout
- trailer: avoid unnecessary splitting on lines
- commit: make ignore_non_trailer take buf/len
- SQUASH???
- trailer: be stricter in parsing separators
Commands that operate on a log message and add lines to the trailer
blocks, such as "format-patch -s", "cherry-pick (-x|-s)", and
"commit -s", have been taught to use the logic of and share the
code with "git interpret-trailer".
What's the doneness of this topic?
* 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".
Waiting for a reroll.
* jc/git-open-cloexec (2016-11-02) 3 commits
- sha1_file: stop opening files with O_NOATIME
- git_open_cloexec(): use fcntl(2) w/ FD_CLOEXEC fallback
- git_open(): untangle possible NOATIME and CLOEXEC interactions
The codeflow of setting NOATIME and CLOEXEC on file descriptors Git
opens has been simplified.
We may want to drop the tip one.
* 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.
Will discard.
This may not be needed, given that update-index has a similar
option.
* 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.
Will discard.
The whole premise feels wrong.
* 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.

(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

- 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).

Stop supporting "git merge <message> HEAD <commit>" syntax that has
