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 2.26 (final) has been tagged.
You can find the changes described here in the integration branches
of the repositories listed at

* jc/describe-misnamed-annotated-tag (2020-02-20) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2020-03-02 at b4e2ca6a46)
+ describe: force long format for a name based on a mislocated tag
When "git describe C" finds an annotated tag with tagname A to be
the best name to explain commit C, and the tag is stored in a
"wrong" place in the refs/tags hierarchy, e.g. refs/tags/B, the
command gave a warning message but used A (not B) to describe C.
If C is exactly at the tag, the describe output would be "A", but
"git rev-parse A^0" would not be equal as "git rev-parse C^0". The
behavior of the command has been changed to use the "long" form
i.e. A-0-gOBJECTNAME, which is correctly interpreted by rev-parse.

. create .git/refs in files-backend.c
. refs.h: clarify reflog iteration order
A new refs backend "reftable" to replace the traditional
combination of packed-refs files and one-file-per-ref loose refs
has been implemented and integrated for improved performance and
atomicity.
Temporarily ejected as this unfortunately conflicts with the
SHA-256 topic.

can be polished quickly enough to be merged down.

* jc/rebase-backend-keep-old-default (2020-03-10) 1 commit
. rebase: do not switch the default to 'merge' just yet
The "merge" backend of "git rebase" still has a few bugs and
unexpected behaviour that need to be ironed out before it becomes
the default. Let's switch the default back to the "apply" backend
for now.
