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 handful of topics have graduated to 'master' and also many topics that I hadn't have a chance to move outside "Undecided" category have been marked for 'next'. We may have a chance to make a few more updates to 'next' and possibly one more update to 'master' by the end of the year. Let's see what happens. 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/common-main-cleanup (2021-12-07) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2021-12-15 at ff08c86f65) + common-main.c: call exit(), don't return Code clean-up. source: <patch-v2-1.1-4f52ecc94ba-20211207T101207Z-avarab@xxxxxxxxx> * ab/fetch-set-upstream-while-detached (2021-12-07) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2021-12-15 at d0406f880a) + pull, fetch: fix segfault in --set-upstream option "git fetch --set-upstream" did not check if there is a current branch, leading to a segfault when it is run on a detached HEAD, which has been corrected. source: <patch-v5-1.1-69ab40d623b-20211207T215115Z-avarab@xxxxxxxxx> * ak/protect-any-current-branch (2021-12-01) 8 commits (merged to 'next' on 2021-12-10 at dd2c6a557c) + branch: protect branches checked out in all worktrees + receive-pack: protect current branch for bare repository worktree + receive-pack: clean dead code from update_worktree() + fetch: protect branches checked out in all worktrees + worktree: simplify find_shared_symref() memory ownership model + branch: lowercase error messages + receive-pack: lowercase error messages + fetch: lowercase error messages "git fetch" without the "--update-head-ok" option ought to protect a checked out branch from getting updated, to prevent the working tree that checks it out to go out of sync.
