It's a bit early to publish another issue of this report, but a bunch of topics have graduated to 'master' and a handful of topics have joined 'next', so here is the second installment of the month. About 25 topics are cooking in 'next', all of which hopefully can be in the upcoming release. Those not yet in may need bumping, but it was expected to be a slow cycle due to end-of-year holidays, so it is also OK to give them enough time to get polished into good enough shape, rather than merging them prematurely. 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. 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'] * ds/repack-fixlets (2021-12-20) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2021-12-27 at 8f8474ae84) + repack: make '--quiet' disable progress + repack: respect kept objects with '--write-midx -b' Two fixes around "git repack". source: <pull.1098.v2.git.1640011691.gitgitgadget@xxxxxxxxx> * en/keep-cwd (2021-12-09) 11 commits (merged to 'next' on 2021-12-27 at 7cd8f7fdc0) + t2501: simplify the tests since we can now assume desired behavior + dir: new flag to remove_dir_recurse() to spare the original_cwd + dir: avoid incidentally removing the original_cwd in remove_path() + stash: do not attempt to remove startup_info->original_cwd + rebase: do not attempt to remove startup_info->original_cwd + clean: do not attempt to remove startup_info->original_cwd + symlinks: do not include startup_info->original_cwd in dir removal + unpack-trees: add special cwd handling + unpack-trees: refuse to remove startup_info->original_cwd + setup: introduce startup_info->original_cwd + t2501: add various tests for removing the current working directory Many git commands that deal with working tree files try to remove a directory that becomes empty (i.e. "git switch" from a branch that has the directory to another branch that does not would attempt remove all files in the directory and the directory itself). This drops users into an unfamiliar situation if the command was run in a subdirectory that becomes subject to removal due to the command. The commands have been taught to keep an empty directory if it is the directory they were started in to avoid surprising users. source: <pull.1140.v6.git.git.1639026515.gitgitgadget@xxxxxxxxx> * gh/gpg-doc-markup-fix (2021-12-17) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2021-12-27 at 7988d71a27) + docs: add missing colon to Documentation/config/gpg.txt Doc markup fix. source: <20211217161718.15767-1-greg@xxxxxxxxxxx> * jc/flex-array-definition (2021-12-08) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2021-12-27 at 9db6a814b7) + flex-array: simplify compiler-specific workaround The conditions to choose different definitions of the FLEX_ARRAY macro for vendor compilers has been simplified to make it easier to maintain. source: <xmqqee6mv9no.fsf@gitster.g> * jc/merge-detached-head-name (2021-12-20) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2021-12-27 at 01f9fe17b9) + merge: allow to pretend a merge is made into a different branch The default merge message prepared by "git merge" records the name of the current branch; the name can be overridden with a new option to allow users to pretend a merge is made on a different branch. source: <xmqqee66ubuw.fsf_-_@gitster.g> * jc/t4204-do-not-write-git-on-upstream-of-pipe (2021-12-16) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2021-12-27 at dc2c5db807) + t4204 is not sanitizer clean at all Test fixes. source: <xmqqtuf86t7z.fsf_-_@gitster.g> * jh/p4-rcs-expansion-in-bytestring (2021-12-16) 5 commits (merged to 'next' on 2021-12-27 at 650cb248ea) + git-p4: resolve RCS keywords in bytes not utf-8 + git-p4: open temporary patch file for write only + git-p4: add raw option to read_pipelines + git-p4: pre-compile RCS keyword regexes + git-p4: use with statements to close files after use in patchRCSKeywords The RCS keyword substitution in "git p4" used to be done assuming that the contents are UTF-8 text, which can trigger decoding errors.
