Commits prefixed with '+' are in 'next' (being in 'next' is a sign that a topic is stable enough to be used and is a candidate to be in a future release). Commits prefixed with '-' are only in 'seen', and aren't considered "accepted" at all. They may be annotated with a URL to a message that raises issues but they are by no means exhaustive. A topic without enough support may be discarded after a long period of no activity (of course, it can be resubmitted when new interest arises). The first batch of topics have now graduated to the 'master' branch. 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.

Will merge to 'next'? cf. source: * jc/relnotes-2.55-rust-fix (2026-07-07) 1 commit - Rust: fix description in Release Notes to 2.55 A description in the release notes for Git 2.55.0 has been retroactively updated to clarify that Rust support is enabled by default, but still optional, and will become mandatory in Git 3.0. Will merge to 'next'? source: * jc/submitting-patches-abandoning (2026-07-08) 1 commit - SubmittingPatches: document how to retract a topic The 'SubmittingPatches' document has been updated to explicitly describe the expectation for contributors to retract or abandon their patch series when they are no longer pursuing it.

The 'git_hash_*()' wrappers have been updated to be used consistently across the codebase instead of direct calls to members of 'struct git_hash_algo', and 'git_hash_discard()' has been made idempotent to simplify cleanups.

The files-backend specific logic, including incremental and geometric repacking as well as object pruning, has been moved out of the command implementation and into the files object database source, enabling future alternative object database backends to implement their own housekeeping services.

Also, the server-side has been taught to omit empty configuration values instead of sending invalid key-value lines.

The object database enumeration interface 'odb_for_each_object()' has learned to accept object filters, allowing the underlying backends to optimize the traversal by using reachability bitmaps when available. 'git cat-file --batch-all-objects' has been updated to use this generic interface, simplifying its code and avoiding direct access to ODB backend internals.

Merge branch 'ps/refs-writing-subcommands' into ps/refs-wo-the-repository (this branch uses ps/refs-writing-subcommands.) The ref subsystem and the worktree API have been refactored to pass a repository pointer down the call chain, allowing them to drop references to the global 'the_repository' variable. As part of this, the handling of the 'core.packedRefsTimeout' configuration has been moved into the per-repository ref store structure.

Needs review. source: * hn/checkout-track-fetch (2026-06-24) 2 commits - checkout: extend --track with a "fetch" mode to refresh start-point - branch: expose helpers for finding the remote owning a tracking ref The 'git checkout --track=...' command has been taught to optionally fetch the branch from the remote the new branch will work with. Waiting for response(s) to review comment(s). cf. source: * ps/shift-root-in-graph (2026-07-04) 3 commits - graph: indent visual root in graph - graph: add a 2 commit buffer for lookahead - lib-log-graph: move check_graph function 'git log --graph' has been modified to visually distinguish parentless 'root' commits (and commits that become roots due to history simplification) by indenting them, preventing them from appearing falsely related to unrelated commits rendered immediately above them. Expecting a reroll. cf. source: <20260704-ps-pre-commit-indent-v7-0-a94706cc8376@gmail.com> * kk/merge-base-exhaustion (2026-07-01) 10 commits . commit-reach: remove commit-date ordering fallback . commit-reach: move min_generation check into paint_queue_get() . commit-reach: terminate merge-base walk when one paint side is exhausted . commit-reach: introduce struct paint_state with per-side counters . t6600: add clock-skew topologies and step counts for edge cases . commit-reach: add trace2 instrumentation to paint_down_to_common() . t6099, t6600: add side-exhaustion regression tests . t6600: add test cases for side-exhaustion edge cases . test-lib-functions: improve diagnostic output for trace2 data assertions . Documentation/technical: add paint-down-to-common doc The merge-base computation has been optimized by stopping the walk early when one side's exclusive commits in the queue are exhausted, yielding significant speedups for queries with one-sided histories.
