* What's cooking in git.git (Feb 2026, #11)

  To: git

Note.  I am trying not to issue a new issue of the "What's cooking"
report back-to-back, but on the other hand I do try to send one out
when a batch of topics graduate to the 'master' branch.

--

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.

We will be rewinding the tip of 'next' soonish.

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/

 It does not make much sense to apply the "incomplete-line"
 whitespace rule to symbolic links, whose contents almost always
 lack the final newline.  "git apply" and "git diff" are now taught
 to exclude them for a change to symbolic links.

 "git status" learned to show comparison between the current branch

 configuration.

 Will merge to 'master'.

 . receive-pack: fix crash on out-of-namespace symref

 "git receive-pack", when namespace is involved, segfaulted when a
 symbolic ref cross the namespace boundary.

 May not be a good idea after all.  A controlled death would be OK, though.

 . fsck: do not loop infinitely when processing packs

 Access to packfiles during fsck would reorder the mru list of
 packs, which causes the fsck to loop forever going over the list.

 Supersided by ps/fsck-stream-from-the-right-object-instance.
