Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with '-' are
only in 'seen' (formerly '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.
More topics graduate to the 'master' and to the 'next' branches. I
expect that this week would be slower than usual due to US holidays
but hopefully we'd be able to merge most of the impactful topics by
the -rc0. Some large-ish topics may have to be left for the next
cycle, as usual.
You can find the changes described here in the integration branches of the
repositories listed at

Leakfix.
* rs/retire-strbuf-write-fd (2020-06-19) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2020-06-22 at c175b54f2a)
+ strbuf: remove unreferenced strbuf_write_fd method.
+ bugreport.c: replace strbuf_write_fd with write_in_full
A misdesigned strbuf_write_fd() function has been retired.
* sk/diff-files-show-i-t-a-as-new (2020-06-22) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2020-06-22 at 825a823416)
+ diff-files: treat "i-t-a" files as "not-in-index"
(this branch is used by js/diff-files-i-t-a-fix-for-difftool.)
"git diff-files" has been taught to say paths that are marked as
intent-to-add are new files, not modified from an empty blob.
* xl/upgrade-repo-format (2020-06-05) 4 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2020-06-19 at 02bf7a9d8c)
+ check_repository_format_gently(): refuse extensions for old repositories
+ sparse-checkout: upgrade repository to version 1 when enabling extension
+ fetch: allow adding a filter after initial clone
+ repository: add a helper function to perform repository format upgrade
Allow runtime upgrade of the repository format version, which needs
to be done carefully.
There is a rather unpleasant backward compatibility worry with the
last step of this series, but it is the right thing to do in the
longer term.
--------------------------------------------------
[New Topics]
* mt/hash-to-hex-thread-safety (2020-06-26) 2 commits
- hex: make hash_to_hex_algop() and friends thread-safe
- compat/win32/pthread: add pthread_once()
hash_to_hex() used a set of rotating static buffers, which was not
safe to use in a threaded environment. This has been made safer by
using thread-local storage.
Will merge to 'next'.
--------------------------------------------------
[Stalled]
* 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>

Rewrite of the remainder of "git bisect" script in C continues.
Expecting a response to reviews.

* 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".

[Cooking]
* bc/http-push-flagsfix (2020-06-23) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2020-06-25 at 1dabb1f61b)
+ http-push: ensure unforced pushes fail when data would be lost
The code to push changes over "dumb" HTTP had a bad interaction
with the commit reachability code due to incorrect allocation of
object flag bits, which has been corrected.

"git fast-export --anonymize" learned to take customized mapping to
allow its users to tweak its output more usable for debugging.

+ diff-files --raw: show correct post-image of intent-to-add files
"git difftool" has trouble dealing with paths added to the index
with the intent-to-add bit.
Will merge to 'master'.

Docfix.
Will merge to 'master'.
* mf/submodule-summary-with-correct-repository (2020-06-24) 2 commits
- submodule: use submodule repository when preparing summary
- revision: use repository from rev_info when parsing commits
"git diff/show" on a change that involves a submodule used to read
the information on commits in the submodule from a wrong repository
and gave a wrong information when the commit-graph is involved.
Needs tests.

(merged to 'next' on 2020-06-25 at b3cb296341)

- send-email: restore --in-reply-to superseding behavior
"git send-email --in-reply-to=<msg>" did not use the In-Reply-To:
header with the value given from the command line, and let it be
overridden by the value on In-Reply-To: header in the messages
being sent out (if exists).
Expecting a reroll/redesign.
Does not behave sensibly for a multi-patch series.
* en/sparse-status (2020-06-22) 3 commits

+ bash-completion: add git-prune into bash completion
Add "git prune" to the completion (in contrib/), which could be
typed by end-users from the command line.
Will merge to 'master'.
