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). A bit more topics that have already graduated to 'master' have been merged down to 'maint' and Git 2.46.2 has been tagged. Since many people were out last week, not many topics have moved. 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-scm/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'] * ak/typofixes (2024-09-16) 3 commits (merged to 'next' on 2024-09-16 at 4bbdd5ce45) + cbtree: fix a typo + bloom: fix a typo + attr: fix a typo Trivial typofixes. source: <20240915230522.129253-1-algonell@xxxxxxxxx> * jc/pass-repo-to-builtins (2024-09-13) 4 commits (merged to 'next' on 2024-09-16 at 7711bb0214) + add: pass in repo variable instead of global the_repository + builtin: remove USE_THE_REPOSITORY for those without the_repository + builtin: remove USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE from builtin.h + builtin: add a repository parameter for builtin functions The convention to calling into built-in command implementation has been updated to pass the repository, if known, together with the prefix value. source: <pull.1778.v3.git.git.1726262177.gitgitgadget@xxxxxxxxx> * jc/t5512-sigpipe-fix (2024-09-13) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2024-09-16 at 96075b5dd1) + t5512.40 sometimes dies by SIGPIPE Test fix. source: <xmqqmskbwe1a.fsf@gitster.g> * jk/diag-unexpected-remote-helper-death (2024-09-14) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2024-09-16 at f2aa29beac) + print an error when remote helpers die during capabilities When a remote-helper dies before Git writes to it, SIGPIPE killed Git silently.
