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.
Git 2.28 has been tagged. We'll go slow for a few days to gauge the
initial reaction to it and see if there is no major brown-paper-bag
issues discovered. Following that, majority of topics that have
been cooking in 'next' will be merged to 'master', the tip of 'next'
will be rewound and rebuilt on top of the updated 'master', near the
end of this week. The 'next' branch then will start taking new
topics after that.
During the next cycle for 2.29, we will decide the direction of
follow-up work, if any is needed, for the init.defaultBranch topic
we did the last cycle.
You can find the changes described here in the integration branches of the
repositories listed at

Doc update.
Will merge to 'next'.
* dd/send-email-config (2020-07-23) 1 commit
- git-send-email: die if sendmail.* config is set
Stop when "sendmail.*" configuration variables are defined, which
could be a mistaken attempt to define "sendemail.*" variables.

* jx/proc-receive-hook (2020-05-18) 11 commits
- doc: add documentation for the proc-receive hook
- transport: parse report options for tracking refs
- t5411: test updates of remote-tracking branches
- receive-pack: new config receive.procReceiveRefs
- refs.c: refactor to reuse ref_is_hidden()
- receive-pack: feed report options to post-receive
- doc: add document for capability report-status-v2

- transport: not report a non-head push as a branch
"git receive-pack" that accepts requests by "git push" learned to
outsource most of the ref updates to the new "proc-receive" hook.
Needs review.
* 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.
* 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.

Rewrite of the remainder of "git bisect" script in C continues.
Needs more work.
* 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]
* jk/reject-newer-extensions-in-v0 (2020-07-16) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2020-07-16 at 85f634d5a6)
+ verify_repository_format(): complain about new extensions in v0 repo
With the base fix to 2.27 regresion, any new extensions in a v0
repository would still be silently honored, which is not quite
right. Instead, complain and die loudly.
Will cook in 'next'.
* en/fill-directory-exponential (2020-07-20) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2020-07-22 at 63662d6646)
+ dir: check pathspecs before returning `path_excluded`
Fix to a regression introduced during 2.27 cycle.
Will cook in 'next'.
* bc/push-cas-cquoted-refname (2020-07-20) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2020-07-21 at fd7bb5c85e)
+ remote-curl: make --force-with-lease work with non-ASCII ref names
Pushing a ref whose name contains non-ASCII character with the
"--force-with-lease" option did not work over smart HTTP protocol,
which has been corrected.
Will cook in 'next'.
* ct/mv-unmerged-path-error (2020-07-20) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2020-07-21 at c17007237a)
+ git-mv: improve error message for conflicted file
"git mv src dst", when src is an unmerged path, errored out
correctly but with an incorrect error message to claim that src is
not tracked, which has been clarified.
Will cook in 'next'.
* jt/pack-objects-prefetch-in-batch (2020-07-21) 2 commits
- pack-objects: prefetch objects to be packed
- pack-objects: refactor to oid_object_info_extended
While packing many objects in a repository with a promissor remote,
lazily fetching missing objects from the promissor remote one by
one may be inefficient---the code now attempts to fetch all the
missing objects in batch (obviously this won't work for a lazy
clone that lazily fetches tree objects as you cannot even enumerate
what blobs are missing until you learn which trees are missing).
Will merge to 'next'.
* jt/pretend-object-never-come-from-elsewhere (2020-07-21) 1 commit
- sha1-file: make pretend_object_file() not prefetch
The pretend-object mechanism checks if the given object already
exists in the object store before deciding to keep the data
in-core, but the check would have triggered lazy fetching of such
an object from a promissor remote.
Will merge to 'next'.
* sg/ci-git-path-fix-with-pyenv (2020-07-23) 1 commit
- ci: use absolute PYTHON_PATH in the Linux jobs
CI fixup---tests of Python scripts didn't use the version of Git
that is being tested.
Will merge to 'next'.

with predictable (artificial) timestamps.

* jc/no-update-fetch-head (2020-07-13) 1 commit
- fetch: optionally allow disabling FETCH_HEAD update
"git fetch" learned the "--[no-]write-fetch-head" option to
optionally stop describing what was fetched in FETCH_HEAD.
Needs more work.

(this branch uses hn/reftable.)
Further preliminary change to refs API.
* jt/avoid-lazy-fetching-upon-have-check (2020-07-16) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2020-07-20 at 28e85288e5)
+ upload-pack: do not lazy-fetch "have" objects
Fetching from a lazily cloned repository resulted at the server
side in attempts to lazy fetch objects that the client side has,
many of which will not be available from the third-party anyway.
Will cook in 'next'.

(merged to 'next' on 2020-07-20 at 617fe6aecc)

* bw/fail-cloning-into-non-empty (2020-07-10) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2020-07-14 at a52b5ce7ab)
+ git clone: don't clone into non-empty directory
"git clone --separate-git-dir=$elsewhere" used to stomp on the
contents of the existing directory $elsewhere, which has been
taught to fail when $elsewhere is not an empty directory.

* ls/mergetool-meld-auto-merge (2020-07-12) 2 commits
- SQUASH???
- Support auto-merge for meld to follow the vim-diff behavior
The 'meld' backend of the "git mergetool" learned to give the
underlying 'meld' the '--auto-merge' option, which would help
reduce the amount of text that requires manual merging.
Expecting a reroll.
* pb/log-rev-list-doc (2020-07-08) 6 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2020-07-14 at f1104dfb77)

The component to respond to "git fetch" request is made more
configurable to selectively allow or reject object filtering
specification used for partial cloning.
* 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.
Expecting a reroll.

In 2.28-rc0, we corrected a bug that some repository extensions are

configuration variables in extensions.* namespace were supposed to
have special meaning in repositories whose version numbers are 1 or
higher), but this was a bit too big a change.
