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. 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'] * ab/gc-keep-base-option (2020-11-21) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2020-11-25 at ac76ddcfe7) + gc: rename keep_base_pack variable for --keep-largest-pack + gc docs: change --keep-base-pack to --keep-largest-pack Fix an option name in "gc" documentation. * hn/sleep-millisec-decl (2020-11-24) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2020-11-25 at d11de8b987) + move sleep_millisec to git-compat-util.h Move a definition of compatibility wrapper from cache.h to git-compat-util.h * jc/do-not-just-explain-but-update-your-patch (2020-11-24) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2020-11-25 at 1f5235d4e1) + MyFirstContribition: answering questions is not the end of the story Expectation for the original contributor after responding to a review comment to use the explanation in a patch update has been described. * js/pull-rebase-use-advise (2020-11-19) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2020-11-25 at 05db775119) + pull: colorize the hint about setting `pull.rebase` UI improvement. * js/t1309-master-to-topic (2020-11-19) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2020-11-25 at 044da285ef) + t1309: use a neutral branch name in the `onbranch` test cases Test preparation. * js/t2106-cleanup (2020-11-18) 3 commits (merged to 'next' on 2020-11-23 at b1bcd5d8b2) + t2106: ensure that the checkout fails for the expected reason + t2106: make test independent of the current main branch name + t2106: adjust style to the current conventions A test script got cleaned up and then made not to depend on the value of init.defaultBranch. * js/t3040-cleanup (2020-11-18) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2020-11-23 at 88951eae2f) + t3040: remove stale note Cleanup. * js/t3404-master-to-primary (2020-11-24) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2020-11-25 at c2959cc831) + t3404: do not depend on any specific default branch name A test script got cleaned up and then made not to depend on the value of init.defaultBranch. * js/t4015-wo-master (2020-11-19) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2020-11-23 at b85c36ffb4) + t4015: let the test pass with any default branch name A test script got cleaned up not to depend on the value of init.defaultBranch. * km/stash-error-message-fix (2020-11-24) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2020-11-25 at 9ef82d6aa7) + stash: add missing space to an error message Error message fix. * mt/worktree-error-message-fix (2020-11-21) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2020-11-25 at bc887168ff) + worktree: fix order of arguments in error message Fix formulation of an error message with two placeholders in "git worktree add" subcommand. * na/notes-displayref-is-not-boolean (2020-11-23) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2020-11-25 at b0dda46b56) + t3301: test proper exit response to no-value notes.displayRef. + notes.c: fix a segfault in notes_display_config() Config parser fix for "git notes". * sa/credential-store-timeout (2020-11-25) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2020-11-25 at 7a9a4b68fd) + crendential-store: use timeout when locking file Multiple "credential-store" backends can race to lock the same file, causing everybody else but one to fail---reattempt locking with some timeout to reduce the rate of the failure. -------------------------------------------------- [New Topics] * nk/perf-fsmonitor-cleanup (2020-11-30) 1 commit - perf/fsmonitor: use test_must_be_empty helper Test clean-up.

Needs review. * ps/update-ref-multi-transaction (2020-11-16) 4 commits (merged to 'next' on 2020-11-30 at c1c3e23374) + update-ref: disallow "start" for ongoing transactions + p1400: use `git-update-ref --stdin` to test multiple transactions + update-ref: allow creation of multiple transactions + t1400: avoid touching refs on filesystem "git update-ref --stdin" learns to take multiple transactions in a single session. Will merge to 'master'. * js/add-i-color-fix (2020-11-16) 11 commits (merged to 'next' on 2020-11-30 at 5cb8202cd4) + add -i: verify in the tests that colors can be overridden + add -p: prefer color.diff.context over color.diff.plain + add -i (Perl version): color header to match the C version + add -i (built-in): use the same indentation as the Perl version + add -p (built-in): do not color the progress indicator separately + add -i (built-in): use correct names to load color.diff.* config + add -i (built-in): prevent the `reset` "color" from being configured + add -i: use `reset_color` consistently + add -p (built-in): imitate `xdl_format_hunk_hdr()` generating hunk headers + add -i (built-in): send error messages to stderr + add -i (built-in): do show an error message for incorrect inputs "git add -i" failed to honor custom colors configured to show patches, which has been corrected. Will merge to 'master'. cf. <20201117015149.GC19433@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> * js/trace2-session-id (2020-11-11) 11 commits - receive-pack: log received client session ID - send-pack: advertise session ID in capabilities - upload-pack, serve: log received client session ID - fetch-pack: advertise session ID in capabilities - transport: log received server session ID - serve: advertise session ID in v2 capabilities - receive-pack: advertise session ID in v0 capabilities - upload-pack: advertise session ID in v0 capabilities - trace2: add a public function for getting the SID - docs: new transfer.advertiseSID option - docs: new capability to advertise session IDs The transport layer was taught to optionally exchange the session ID assigned by the trace2 subsystem during fetch/push transactions. Will merge to 'next'. * ds/maintenance-part-4 (2020-11-24) 4 commits - maintenance: use Windows scheduled tasks - maintenance: use launchctl on macOS - maintenance: include 'cron' details in docs - maintenance: extract platform-specific scheduling Follow-up on the "maintenance part-3" which introduced scheduled maintenance tasks to support platforms whose native scheduling methods are not 'cron'. * sj/untracked-files-in-submodule-directory-is-not-dirty (2020-10-26) 1 commit - diff: do not show submodule with untracked files as "-dirty" "git diff" showed a submodule working tree with untracked cruft as "Submodule commit <objectname>-dirty", but a natural expectation is that the "-dirty" indicator would align with "git describe --dirty", which does not consider having untracked files in the working tree as source of dirtiness. The inconsistency has been fixed. Needs doc update and also adjusting "git status". * ak/corrected-commit-date (2020-10-08) 10 commits - doc: add corrected commit date info - commit-reach: use corrected commit dates in paint_down_to_common() - commit-graph: use generation v2 only if entire chain does - commit-graph: implement generation data chunk - commit-graph: implement corrected commit date - commit-graph: add a slab to store topological levels - commit-graph: return 64-bit generation number - commit-graph: consolidate fill_commit_graph_info - revision: parse parent in indegree_walk_step() - commit-graph: fix regression when computing Bloom filters The commit-graph learned to use corrected commit dates instead of the generation number to help topological revision traversal. Getting there. cf. <85y2jiqq3c.fsf@xxxxxxxxx> cf. <685afed6-f01f-5d22-80d4-00fdc11caf0a@xxxxxxxxx> cf. <20201103053629.GA13228@Abhishek-Arch>
