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 or their mirrors. 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/ https://gitlab.com/git-vcs/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/perl-makefile-cleanup (2021-05-13) 5 commits (merged to 'next' on 2021-05-13 at 6cf377a1bc) + Makefile: make PERL_DEFINES recursively expanded (merged to 'next' on 2021-05-10 at 23b48398e6) + perl: use mock i18n functions under NO_GETTEXT=Y + Makefile: regenerate *.pm on NO_PERL_CPAN_FALLBACKS change + Makefile: regenerate perl/build/* if GIT-PERL-DEFINES changes + Makefile: don't re-define PERL_DEFINES Build procedure clean-up. * ab/sparse-index-cleanup (2021-05-06) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2021-05-10 at bbb0239571) + sparse-index.c: remove set_index_sparse_config() Code clean-up. * ab/streaming-simplify (2021-05-06) 5 commits (merged to 'next' on 2021-05-07 at 0992a78c75) + streaming.c: move {open,close,read} from vtable to "struct git_istream" + streaming.c: stop passing around "object_info *" to open() + streaming.c: remove {open,close,read}_method_decl() macros + streaming.c: remove enum/function/vtbl indirection + streaming.c: avoid forward declarations Code clean-up. * ah/merge-ort-i18n (2021-05-11) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2021-05-12 at bda497af01) + merge-ort: split "distinct types" message into two translatable messages An i18n fix. * ba/object-info (2021-04-20) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2021-05-07 at e2cb0e4ef1) + object-info: support for retrieving object info Over-the-wire protocol learns a new request type to ask for object sizes given a list of object names. * dd/mailinfo-quoted-cr (2021-05-10) 6 commits (merged to 'next' on 2021-05-12 at a4bcfd18b9) + am: learn to process quoted lines that ends with CRLF + mailinfo: allow stripping quoted CR without warning + mailinfo: allow squelching quoted CRLF warning + mailinfo: warn if CRLF found in decoded base64/QP email + mailinfo: stop parsing options manually + mailinfo: load default metainfo_charset lazily "git mailinfo" (hence "git am") learned the "--quoted-cr" option to control how lines ending with CRLF wrapped in base64 or qp are handled. * dl/stash-show-untracked-fixup (2021-05-13) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2021-05-13 at 267a756b92) + stash show: fix segfault with --{include,only}-untracked + t3905: correct test title The code to handle options recently added to "git stash show" around untracked part of the stash segfaulted when these options were used on a stash entry that does not record untracked part. * en/dir-traversal (2021-05-13) 9 commits (merged to 'next' on 2021-05-14 at 316f9264c1) + dir: introduce readdir_skip_dot_and_dotdot() helper + dir: update stale description of treat_directory() + dir: traverse into untracked directories if they may have ignored subfiles + dir: avoid unnecessary traversal into ignored directory + t3001, t7300: add testcase showcasing missed directory traversal + t7300: add testcase showing unnecessary traversal into ignored directory + ls-files: error out on -i unless -o or -c are specified + dir: report number of visited directories and paths with trace2 + dir: convert trace calls to trace2 equivalents "git clean" and "git ls-files -i" had confusion around working on or showing ignored paths inside an ignored directory, which has been corrected. * en/prompt-under-set-u (2021-05-13) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2021-05-16 at 4467131ca3) + git-prompt: work under set -u The bash prompt script (in contrib/) did not work under "set -u". * ew/sha256-clone-remote-curl-fix (2021-05-12) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2021-05-14 at 6d6a81717a) + remote-curl: fix clone on sha256 repos "git clone" from SHA256 repository by Git built with SHA-1 as the default hash algorithm over the dumb HTTP protocol did not correctly set up the resulting repository, which has been corrected. * jk/p4-locate-branch-point-optim (2021-05-06) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2021-05-07 at 0fa60c3af3) + git-p4: speed up search for branch parent + git-p4: ensure complex branches are cloned correctly "git p4" learned to find branch points more efficiently. * jk/test-chainlint-softer (2021-05-13) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2021-05-16 at 2f4f4454ea) + t: avoid sed-based chain-linting in some expensive cases The "chainlint" feature in the test framework is a handy way to catch common mistakes in writing new tests, but tends to get expensive.
