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 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).

Git 2.56-rc1 has been tagged.  We may merge last-minute fixes before
the final Git 2.56 release, but otherwise I do not expect any new
feature topics to be ready before the final, so most of the
in-flight topics will stay cooking in 'next' until then.  As
discussed at the Git Contributors' Summit, the version after the
upcoming Git 2.56 will be Git 2.98, scheduled near the end of this
year.

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/

 The server-side protocol v2 response order for 'wanted-refs' and
 'shallow-info' has been swapped to match the client's expectation,
 fixing a fetch failure when the server has 'uploadpack.allowRefInWant'
 enabled and the client performs a shallow fetch.

 - exec_cmd: RUNTIME_PREFIX on OpenBSD systems

 Git on OpenBSD historically lacked an authoritative mechanism to
 resolve its executable path, as it doesn't support the
 KERN_PROC_PATHNAME sysctl.  With OpenBSD 8.0 introducing
 getexecpath(3), it is now utilized to provide proper RUNTIME_PREFIX
 resolution instead of relying on argv[0] fallback.

 The advice subsystem has been updated to suggest using the
 '--global' option when recommending a command snippet to squelch
 future advice messages, since global configuration is generally

 When 'core.fsyncMethod' is set to 'batch', the ODB transaction
 failed to properly flush large blob packfiles residing in the
 temporary directory before migrating the directory's contents to the
 main object store.  The execution sequence has been corrected by
 performing the packfile flush before the temporary directory
 migration, averting failure.

 - midx-write: skip writes with no object entries

 The `git multi-pack-index write` command has been updated to
 silently return success when there are no object entries to index.
 This avoids writing empty `multi-pack-index` layers, which
 previously caused subsequent incremental midx writes using the
 `--bitmap` option to fail when attempting to load the missing
 reverse index.

 - merge-ll: catch close() errors when writing external tempfiles
 - merge-ll: use strbuf to read back external merge result

 The external merge driver in 'git merge' now uses the tempfile API
 to create its temporary files.  This ensures that these temporaries
 are reliably cleaned up even when the merge driver or its parent Git
 process is terminated abruptly.

 - move rust gitcore crate to a different subdirectory

 The Rust code and its 'Cargo.toml' file have been moved from the
 top-level repository root and 'src/' directory into a dedicated
 'rust/' subdirectory.  This avoids confusing Cargo's packaging
 mechanism when the Git repository is included as a submodule in
 other Rust projects.

 - push: --force-if-includes should allow fast-forward
 - push: fix --force-if-includes non-branch advice
 - push: check pushed ref for --force-if-includes

 The '--force-if-includes' protection for 'git push' has been updated
 to consult the reflog of the local branch being pushed, rather than
 incorrectly checking the reflog of a local branch that shares the name
 of the remote destination branch.  The push advice for detached HEAD
 scenarios has also been adjusted to indicate that the remote ref
 cannot be verified locally.  A regression that caused perfectly valid
 fast-forward pushes to be rejected when reflogs were expired has been
 fixed.

 branch during 'git push --force-if-includes' was left uninitialized
 when the reflog was completely empty, which has been corrected.

 The sequencer machinery (used by 'git rebase', 'git cherry-pick', and

From: Junio C Hamano @ 2026-09-04 23:55 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git

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 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 22nd batch of topics have now graduated to the 'master' branch.
We have 604 non-merge commits in 'master' since Git 2.55.  There
are 66 non-merge commits cooking in 'next' (note that some have
been reverted), and 223 non-merge commits, including those in and
out of 'next', in 'seen' as of this writing.

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/

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):

 The git rev-list command has been augmented with a '--missing-only'
 option that filters the output to only show missing objects,
 stripping the leading '?' character and suppressing present objects,
 which is useful when used in combination with '--missing=print' or

 - last-modified: keep per-path Bloom filters for wildcard pathspecs
 - last-modified: check pathspec against Bloom filter first
 - revision: add Bloom check that includes parent directories
 - bloom: add helper to check if any key in a vector is present
 - revision: expose check for paths maybe changed in Bloom filter
 - revision: move bloom keyvec precondition into function

 The 'git last-modified' command has been optimized by using Bloom
 filters.  It now reuses revision walk filtering logic from 'git log'
 to pre-filter commits, and maintains per-path Bloom filters even when
 wildcard pathspecs are used.

 Needs review.

 The 'git fetch' command can now configure how submodule fetch errors
 are handled via 'fetch.submoduleErrors' and '--submodule-errors',
 making them non-fatal.  A premature failure during recursive submodule
 fetches has been fixed by deferring the error until the OID-based
 retry phase fails.

From: Junio C Hamano @ 2026-08-26 23:21 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git

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 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 19th batch of topics have now graduated to the 'master' branch.
We have 563 non-merge commits in 'master' since Git 2.55.  There
are 75 non-merge commits cooking in 'next' (note that some have
been reverted), and 209 non-merge commits, including those in and
out of 'next', in 'seen' as of this writing.

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:

  (merged to 'next' on 2026-08-24 at a431cd5887)
 + odb: drop `alternates_db` field
 + odb: drop `loaded_alternates` field
 + odb: eagerly initialize alternates
 + odb: decouple source path comparisons from `the_repository`
 + setup: create ref and object databases after config is written
 + Merge branch 'ps/odb-make-creation-pluggable' into ps/odb-eagerly-load-alternates
 (this branch is used by ps/odb-alternates-at-creation and ps/odb-pluggable-fsck.)

 The object database layer has been simplified by eagerly loading
 alternate object directories upon initialization, instead of
 deferring it to the first object lookup.  This eliminates the need
 for scattered lazy-loading calls throughout the codebase and paves
 the way for integrating alternates with the pluggable backends.

 + worktree add: shouldn't dwim if -b or -B is given

 The DWIM logic in 'git worktree add' sometimes tried to infer a
 remote-tracking branch when an explicit '-b' or '-B' option was
 given to create a new branch, causing the explicit branch name to
 be ignored, which has been corrected.
