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). The preview release Git 2.44-rc0 has been tagged. Let's see how well this pre-release period goes; unlike previous cycles, I planned only for one release candidate in the middle of next week until the final release around the 20th. 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'] * cp/unit-test-prio-queue (2024-01-22) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2024-02-01 at 38aa6559b0) + tests: move t0009-prio-queue.sh to the new unit testing framework The priority queue test has been migrated to the unit testing framework. source: <pull.1642.v4.git.1705865326185.gitgitgadget@xxxxxxxxx> * ja/doc-placeholders-fix (2023-12-26) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2024-02-05 at 047da8cbb0) + doc: enforce placeholders in documentation + doc: enforce dashes in placeholders Docfix. source: <pull.1626.git.1703539287.gitgitgadget@xxxxxxxxx> * jc/index-pack-fsck-levels (2024-02-01) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2024-02-02 at 0e4ef26aa1) + index-pack: --fsck-objects to take an optional argument for fsck msgs + index-pack: test and document --strict=<msg-id>=<severity>...
