What's cooking in git.git (Aug 2023, #06; Fri, 18)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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', and
aren't considered "accepted" at all and may be annotated with an URL
to a message that raises issues but they are no means exhaustive.  A
topic without enough support may be discarded after a long period of
no activity (of course they can be resubmit when new interests
arise).

Git 2.42 will be released early next week.

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/

  (merged to 'next' on 2023-08-09 at 5510985b1c)
 + branch: error message checking out a branch in use
 + branch: error message deleting a branch in use

 A message written in olden time prevented a branch from getting
 checked out saying it is already checked out elsewhere, but these
 days, we treat a branch that is being bisected or rebased just like
 a branch that is checked out and protect it.  Rephrase the message
 to say that the branch is in use.

 "checkout --merge -- path" and "update-index --unresolve path" did
 not resurrect conflicted state that was resolved to remove path,
 but now they do.
