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.
There is the v2.24.0-rc2 tag now; the contents of the release
candidate hasn't changed much since the -rc1; hopefully we can see
the final thing real soon now.
You can find the changes described here in the integration branches
of the repositories listed at

Waiting for feedback to see if it truly helps.
Needs tests.

side choosing from one of them.
Expecting a reroll.

updated to use "size_t".

Crufty code and logic accumulated over time around the object
parsing and low-level object access used in "git fsck" have been
cleaned up.

+ cherry-pick: add test for `--skip` advice in `git commit`
The logic used in "git commit" to give hints and errors depending
on what operation was in progress learned to distinguish rebase and
cherry-pick better.

+ notes: fix minimum number of parameters to "copy" subcommand
+ t3301: test diagnose messages for too few/many paramters
"git notes copy $original" ought to copy the notes attached to the
original object to HEAD, but a mistaken tightening to command line
parameter validation made earlier disabled that feature by mistake.
Will cook in 'next'.
