Here are the topics that have been cooking in my tree. Commits
prefixed with '-' are only in 'seen' (which collects random set of
topics that are not yet in 'next') 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.
As announced in the previous issue of this report, while we wait to
see if people notice brown-paper-bag bugs and deal with them, we'd
start merging down topics that have been cooking in 'next' from
simpler and obvious ones. This issue marks the simpler ones to be
merged to 'master' soonish (please holler if you have a reason some
of them should wait further fixup):
ef/mailinfo-short-name
mt/parallel-checkout-with-padded-oidcpy
jn/size-t-casted-to-off-t-fix
ah/merge-usage-i18n-fix
ah/stash-usage-i18n-fix

tl/fix-packfile-uri-doc
jk/doc-color-pager
ah/fetch-reject-warning-grammofix
ah/setup-extensions-message-i18n-fix
while leaving topics that touch the code in a more significant ways
in 'next' for the next batch. Also those topics that are not yet in
'next' but are marked to be merged to 'next' would stay out until
next week when the tip of 'next' gets rebuilt on 2.32.
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):

(merged to 'next' on 2021-05-22 at 755df67f0e)
+ git-send-email: add option to specify sendmail command
"git send-email" learned the "--sendmail-cmd" command line option
and the "sendemail.sendmailCmd" configuration variable, which is a
more sensible approach than the current way of repurposing the
"smtp-server" that is meant to name the server to instead name the
command to talk to the server.

* so/log-m-implies-p (2021-05-21) 10 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2021-05-28 at 2733ec2409)
+ diff-merges: let "-m" imply "-p"
+ diff-merges: rename "combined_imply_patch" to "merges_imply_patch"
+ stash list: stop passing "-m" to "git log"
+ git-svn: stop passing "-m" to "git rev-list"

+ t4013: test "git diff-tree -m"
+ t4013: test "git log -m --stat"
+ t4013: test "git log -m --raw"
+ t4013: test that "-m" alone has no effect in "git log"
The "-m" option in "git log -m" that does not specify which format,
if any, of diff is desired did not have any visible effect; it now
implies some form of diff (by default "--patch") is produced.

"git fsck" has been taught to report mismatch between expected and
actual types of an object better.
Seems to break tests when merged to 'seen'.
