As 2.34.0 cycle was run rather loosely, we saw our share of regressions in the release. Hopefully we have caught the major ones and fixed them all in the 2.34.1 maintenance release that was just tagged. I've marked most of the topics that are in 'next' for the 'master' branch, except for a few topics, but if there are topics that should be rethought instead, please holler. Once flushing these topics down to 'master', the tip of 'next' will be rewound and then we'll start taking new topics to it. Here are the topics that have been cooking in my tree. Commits prefixed with '+' are in 'next' (being in 'next' is a sign that a topic is stable enough to be used and are candidate to be in a future release). Commits prefixed with '-' are only in 'seen', which means nothing more than that I have found them of interest for some reason (like "it may have hard-to-resolve conflicts with another topic already in flight" or "this may turn out to be useful"). Do not read too much into a topic being in (or not in) 'seen'. The ones marked with '.' do not appear in any of the integration branches, but I am still holding onto them. A few topics for regression fixes have been merged to 'next' and will be merged to 'master' shortly. There are many topics listed as "New" that are in 'seen', but I haven't read many of them (and I shouldn't have anyway, before dealing with regression fixes) and haven't gave any summary comments in this report, either, yet. 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/update-submitting-patches (2021-11-13) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2021-11-19 at b44f4d0eb0) + SubmittingPatches: fix Asciidoc syntax in "GitHub CI" section Doc fix. * ds/add-rm-with-sparse-index (2021-11-22) 1 commit - dir: revert "dir: select directories correctly" Regression fix for 2.34 * ev/pull-already-up-to-date-is-noop (2021-11-18) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2021-11-19 at 2d8f0cd000) + pull: should be noop when already-up-to-date "git pull" with any strategy when the other side is behind us should succeed as it is a no-op, but doesn't. * hm/paint-hits-in-log-grep (2021-11-19) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2021-11-19 at e146d25c7c) + Revert "grep/pcre2: fix an edge case concerning ascii patterns and UTF-8 data" "git grep" looking in a blob that has non-UTF8 payload was completely broken when linked with versions of PCREv2 library older than 10.34 in the latest release. * jc/save-restore-terminal-revert (2021-11-22) 1 commit - Revert "editor: save and reset terminal after calling EDITOR" Regression fix for 2.34 -------------------------------------------------- [New Topics] * ab/ci-updates (2021-11-23) 5 commits - CI: don't run "make test" twice in one job - CI: use "$runs_on_pool", not "$jobname" to select packages & config - CI: rename the "Linux32" job to lower-case "linux32" - CI: use shorter names that fit in UX tooltips - CI: remove Travis CI support * en/keep-cwd (2021-11-20) 8 commits - dir: avoid removing the current working directory - stash: do not attempt to remove current working directory - clean: do not attempt to remove current working directory - symlinks: do not include current working directory in dir removal - unpack-trees: add special cwd handling - unpack-trees: refuse to remove the current working directory - repository, setup: introduce the_cwd - t2501: add various tests for removing the current working directory * ab/run-command (2021-11-22) 5 commits - run-command API: remove "argv" member, always use "args" - run-command API users: use strvec_pushl(), not argv construction - run-command API users: use strvec_pushv(), not argv assignment - upload-archive: use regular "struct child_process" pattern - archive-tar: use our own cmd.buf in error message * hn/create-reflog-simplify (2021-11-22) 1 commit - refs: drop force_create argument of create_reflog API * hn/reflog-tests (2021-11-22) 4 commits - t1400: use test-helper ref-store to inspect reflog contents - test-ref-store: tweaks to for-each-reflog-ent format - refs: trim newline from reflog message - show-branch: show reflog message * jt/midx-doc-fix (2021-11-22) 1 commit - Doc: no midx and partial clone relation * tl/ls-tree-oid-only (2021-11-22) 1 commit - ls-tree.c: support `--oid-only` option for "git-ls-tree" * jk/t7006-sigpipe-tests-fix (2021-11-22) 3 commits - t7006: simplify exit-code checks for sigpipe tests - t7006: clean up SIGPIPE handling in trace2 tests - run-command: unify signal and regular logic for wait_or_whine() The function to cull a child process and determine the exit status had two separate code paths for normal callers and callers in a signal handler, and the latter did not yield correct value when the child has caught a signal.
