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. The sixth batch of topics are in 'master' and the tests are being prepared not to be disrupted by a potential change of the default name for the initial branch. Copies of the source code to Git live in many repositories, and the following is a list of the ones I push into. Some repositories have only a subset of branches. With maint, master, next, seen, todo: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/ git://repo.or.cz/alt-git.git/ https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/git/git/ https://github.com/git/git/ With all the integration branches and topics broken out: https://github.com/gitster/git/ Even though the preformatted documentation in HTML and man format are not sources, they are published in these repositories for convenience (replace "htmldocs" with "manpages" for the manual pages): git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git-htmldocs.git/ https://github.com/gitster/git-htmldocs.git/ Release tarballs are available at: https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/ -------------------------------------------------- [Graduated to 'master'] * ds/maintenance-part-3 (2020-10-16) 8 commits (merged to 'next' on 2020-11-10 at fe9475c696) + maintenance: add troubleshooting guide to docs + maintenance: use 'incremental' strategy by default + maintenance: create maintenance.strategy config + maintenance: add start/stop subcommands + maintenance: add [un]register subcommands + for-each-repo: run subcommands on configured repos + maintenance: add --schedule option and config + maintenance: optionally skip --auto process (this branch is used by ds/maintenance-part-4.)
