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). Let's wait for gitk and possibly po/ and delay the tagging of the -rc1. Many people are already offline for the end-of-year holidays and it is a slow week, and 'master' front has too many new things graduated from 'next' a bit too early for me to feel comfortable. Extra testing the tip of 'master' before we actually tag it is as always very much appreciated. Right now, the optional meson-based build does not pass gitweb tests, IIUC. 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/ -------------------------------------------------- [New Topics] * as/gitk-git-gui-repo-update (2024-12-26) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2024-12-26 at 10b9e8227b) + Update the official repo of gitk The developer documentation has been updated to give the latest info on gitk and git-gui maintainer.
