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). 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'] * bc/contrib-thunderbird-patch-inline-fix (2025-02-10) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2025-02-11 at d13b5baf06) + thunderbird-patch-inline: avoid bashism A thunderbird helper script lost its bashism. source: <20250210234947.1317056-1-sandals@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> * da/difftool-sans-the-repository (2025-02-06) 3 commits (merged to 'next' on 2025-02-10 at e22cc108b6) + difftool: eliminate use of USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE + difftool: eliminate use of the_repository + difftool: eliminate use of global variables "git difftool" code clean-up. cf. <xmqq4j15hch1.fsf@gitster.g> source: <20250206042010.865947-3-davvid@xxxxxxxxx> * ds/backfill (2025-02-03) 7 commits (merged to 'next' on 2025-02-10 at d6348c9f60) + backfill: assume --sparse when sparse-checkout is enabled + backfill: add --sparse option + backfill: add --min-batch-size=<n> option + backfill: basic functionality and tests + backfill: add builtin boilerplate + Merge branch 'master' into ds/backfill + Merge branch 'ds/path-walk-1' into ds/backfill Lazy-loading missing files in a blobless clone on demand is costly as it tends to be one-blob-at-a-time.
