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.
The sixth batch merged quite a few topics to 'master'; they haven't
spent the usual "at least a week" in the 'next' branch, but all of
them looked quite safe and benign. Knock wood.
You can find the changes described here in the integration branches
of the repositories listed at

(this branch is tangled with tb/commit-graph-split-strategy.)
The commit-graph code exhausted file descriptors easily when it
does not have to.

"git log -L..." now takes advantage of the "which paths are touched
by this commit?" info stored in the commit-graph system.
* es/restore-staged-from-head-by-default (2020-05-01) 3 commits
- restore: default to HEAD when combining --worktree and --staged
- fixup! restore: require --source when combining --worktree and --staged
- restore: require --source when combining --worktree and --staged
"git restore --staged --worktree" now defaults to take the contents
out of "HEAD", instead of erroring out.

- gitcredentials(7): make shell-snippet example more realistic
- gitcredentials(7): clarify quoting of helper examples
The samples in the credential documentation has been updated to
make it clear that we depict what would appear in the .git/config
file, by adding appropriate quotes as needed..

* mk/use-size-t-in-zlib (2018-10-15) 1 commit
- zlib.c: use size_t for size
The wrapper to call into zlib followed our long tradition to use
"unsigned long" for sizes of regions in memory, which have been
updated to use "size_t".

* cb/credential-store-warn-bogus-lines (2020-04-30) 2 commits
- credential-store: warn instead of fatal for bogus lines from store
- credential-store: document the file format a bit more
With the recent tightening of the code that is used to parse
various parts of a URL for use in the credential subsystem, a
hand-edited credential-store file causes the credential helper to
die, which is a bit too harsh to the users. Demote the error
behaviour to only warn and keep using well-formed lines instead.
Expecting a final reroll.
It seems that we decided to do absolute minimum to avoid doing any
unnecessary harm. Ignore malformed lines but without warning.
cf. <20200501135757.GF33264@Carlos-MBP>
* dl/switch-c-option-in-error-message (2020-04-30) 1 commit
- switch: fix errors and comments related to -c and -C
In error messages that "git switch" mentions its option to create a
new branch, "-b/-B" options were shown, where "-c/-C" options
should be, which has been corrected.
Will merge to 'next'.
* es/bugreport-with-hooks (2020-04-30) 2 commits
- SQUASH???

+ credential: handle `credential.<partial-URL>.<key>` again
+ credential: optionally allow partial URLs in credential_from_url_gently()
+ credential: fix grammar
(this branch is used by js/partial-urlmatch.)
Recent updates broke parsing of "credential.<url>.<key>" where
<url> is not a full URL (e.g. [credential "https://";] helper = ...)
stopped working, which has been corrected.
Will merge to 'master'.
* js/partial-urlmatch (2020-04-29) 3 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2020-05-01 at e7017fcfd1)
+ Sync with js/partial-urlmatch-2.17
+ credential: handle `credential.<partial-URL>.<key>` again
+ credential: optionally allow partial URLs in credential_from_url_gently()
(this branch uses js/partial-urlmatch-2.17.)
The same as js/partial-urlmatch-2.17, built on more recent codebase
to avoid unnecessary merge conflicts.
Will merge to 'master'.

The command line completion (in contrib/) learned to complete
options that the "git switch" command takes.
* tb/commit-graph-perm-bits (2020-04-29) 5 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2020-04-29 at 66a87c1fbc)
+ commit-graph.c: make 'commit-graph-chain's read-only
+ commit-graph.c: ensure graph layers respect core.sharedRepository
+ commit-graph.c: write non-split graphs as read-only
+ lockfile.c: introduce 'hold_lock_file_for_update_mode'
+ tempfile.c: introduce 'create_tempfile_mode'
Some of the files commit-graph subsystem keeps on disk did not
correctly honor the core.sharedRepository settings and some were
left read-write.
Will merge to 'master'.

Test update.
Will merge to 'master'.
* dr/push-remoteref-fix (2020-04-23) 1 commit
- remote.c: fix handling of %(push:remoteref)
The "%(push:remoteref)" placeholder in the "--format=" argument of
"git format-patch" (and friends) only showed what got explicitly
configured, not what ref at the receiving end would be updated when
"git push" was used, as it ignored the default behaviour (e.g. update
the same ref as the source).
Expecting a reroll.
cf. <20200416152145.wp2zeibxmuyas6y6@feanor>
* pw/rebase-i-more-options (2020-04-29) 5 commits

atomicity.
At v10. VCbuild may have to be updated to deal with the new lib.
