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.
You can find the changes described here in the integration branches of the
repositories listed at

[Graduated to 'master']
* al/bisect-first-parent (2020-08-22) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2020-08-24 at f95fbf45a6)
+ bisect: add first-parent option to documentation
Finishing touches.
* am/ci-wsfix (2020-08-21) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2020-08-24 at 8491e031f1)
+ ci: fix inconsistent indentation
Aesthetic fix to a CI configuration file.
* dd/diff-customize-index-line-abbrev (2020-08-21) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2020-08-24 at 74e842a2c8)
+ diff: index-line: respect --abbrev in object's name
+ t4013: improve diff-post-processor logic
The output from the "diff" family of the commands had abbreviated
object names of blobs involved in the patch, but its length was not
affected by the --abbrev option. Now it is.
* hn/refs-pseudorefs (2020-08-21) 4 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2020-08-24 at 3579abe8ff)
+ sequencer: treat REVERT_HEAD as a pseudo ref
+ builtin/commit: suggest update-ref for pseudoref removal
+ sequencer: treat CHERRY_PICK_HEAD as a pseudo ref
+ refs: make refs_ref_exists public
Accesses to two pseudorefs have been updated to properly use ref
API.
* hv/ref-filter-trailers-atom-parsing-fix (2020-08-21) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2020-08-24 at 79b27f3263)
+ ref-filter: 'contents:trailers' show error if `:` is missing
+ t6300: unify %(trailers) and %(contents:trailers) tests
The parser for "git for-each-ref --format=..." was too loose when
parsing the "%(trailers...)" atom, and forgot that "trailers" and
"trailers:<modifiers>" are the only two allowed forms, which has
been corrected.
* jc/ident-whose-ident (2020-08-21) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2020-08-27 at caf5149c28)
+ ident: say whose identity is missing when giving user.name hint
Error message update.
* jk/index-pack-w-more-threads (2020-08-21) 3 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2020-08-24 at 18f18a5b66)
+ index-pack: adjust default threading cap
+ p5302: count up to online-cpus for thread tests
+ p5302: disable thread-count parameter tests by default
Long ago, we decided to use 3 threads by default when running the
index-pack task in parallel, which has been adjusted a bit upwards.
* jk/refspecs-cleanup (2020-08-17) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2020-08-24 at 807a080ebf)
+ refspec: make sure stack refspec_item variables are zeroed
+ refspec: fix documentation referring to refspec_item
(this branch is used by jk/refspecs-negative.)
Preliminary code clean-up before introducing "negative refspec".
* jk/rev-input-given-fix (2020-08-26) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2020-08-27 at da291a327c)
+ revision: set rev_input_given in handle_revision_arg()
Feeding "$ZERO_OID" to "git log --ignore-missing --stdin", and
running "git log --ignore-missing $ZERO_OID" fell back to start
digging from HEAD; it has been corrected to become a no-op, like
"git log --tags=no-tag-matches-this-pattern" does.
* jt/promisor-pack-fix (2020-08-20) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2020-08-24 at cd26d30d8d)
+ fetch-pack: in partial clone, pass --promisor
Updates into a lazy/partial clone with a submodule did not work
well with transfer.fsckobjects set.
* ps/ref-transaction-hook (2020-08-25) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2020-08-27 at 49b3fb8349)
+ refs: remove lookup cache for reference-transaction hook
Code simplification by removing ineffective optimization.
* rp/apply-cached-doc (2020-08-20) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2020-08-27 at 1d610f08ea)
+ git-apply.txt: update descriptions of --cached, --index
The description of --cached/--index options in "git apply --help"
has been updated.
* rs/checkout-no-overlay-pathspec-fix (2020-08-22) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2020-08-27 at 277e39346d)
+ checkout, restore: make pathspec recursive
"git restore/checkout --no-overlay" with wildcarded pathspec
mistakenly removed matching paths in subdirectories, which has been
corrected.

* hl/bisect-doc-clarify-bad-good-ordering (2020-08-28) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2020-08-31 at 11ce613916)

* jt/interpret-branch-name-fallback (2020-08-29) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2020-08-31 at 01f5dc8cc0)
+ wt-status: tolerate dangling marks
+ sha1-name: replace unsigned int with option struct
"git status" has trouble showing where it came from by interpreting
reflog entries that recordcertain events, e.g. "checkout @{u}", and
gives a hard/fatal error. Even though it inherently is impossible
to give a correct answer because the reflog entries lose some
information (e.g. "@{u}" does not record what branch the user was
on hence which branch 'the upstream' needs to be computed, and even
if the record were available, the relationship between branches may
have changed), at least hide the error to allow "status" show its
output.
Will merge to 'master'.

Internal API clean-up to handle two options "diff-index" and "log"
have, which happen to share the same short form, more sensibly.
Will merge to 'master'.

Expecting a reroll.
Now jk/strvec is in 'master', we may want to see the topic reworked
on top of it. Are there unresolved issues, or does the topic need

* 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.
* 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.

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".

+ cvsexportcommit: do not run git programs in dashed form
+ transport-helper: do not run git-remote-ext etc. in dashed form
(this branch is used by jc/war-on-dashed-git.)
A handful of places in in-tree code still relied on being able to
execute the git subcommands, especially built-ins, in "git-foo"
form, which have been corrected.
Will merge to 'master'.
* tb/repack-clearing-midx (2020-08-28) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2020-08-28 at 4204c0cb5e)
+ midx: traverse the local MIDX first
(merged to 'next' on 2020-08-27 at a465875cbb)
+ builtin/repack.c: invalidate MIDX only when necessary
When a packfile is removed by "git repack", multi-pack-index gets
cleared; the code was taught to do so less aggressively by first
checking if the midx actually refers to a pack that no longer
exists.
Will merge to 'master'.
* jc/run-command-use-embedded-args (2020-08-26) 1 commit

* js/no-builtins-on-disk-option (2020-08-24) 3 commits
- ci: stop linking built-ins to the dashed versions
- install: optionally skip linking/copying the built-ins
- msvc: copy the correct `.pdb` files in the Makefile target `install`
The installation procedure learned to optionally omit "git-foo"
executable files for each 'foo' built-in subcommand, which are only
required by old timers that still rely on the age old promise that
prepending "git --exec-path" output to PATH early in their script
will keep the "git-foo" calls they wrote working.
The old attempt to remove these executables from the disk failed in
the 1.6 era; it may be worth attempting again, but I think it is
worth to keep this topic separate from such a policy change to help
it graduate early.

- ref-filter: refactor `grab_objectname()`
- ref-filter: support different email formats
The "--format=" option to the "for-each-ref" command and friends
learned a few more tricks, e.g. the ":short" suffix that applies to
"objectname" now also can be used for "parent", "tree", etc.

"git diff --stat -w" showed 0-line changes for paths whose changes

- transport: not report a non-head push as a branch
"git receive-pack" that accepts requests by "git push" learned to
