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. Hopefully this will be the last issue of "What's cooking" report of this year. Please expect my tree will be slow moving this week and whereever you are on the globe, relax and enjoy the remainder of this year. 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.
