What's cooking in git.git (May 2026, #02)

What's cooking in git.git (May 2026, #02)

[Junio C Hamano]

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 and 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 they can be resubmitted when new interests
arise).

The first batch of topics marked for graduation for quite a while
since 2.54-rc2 have all been merged to 'master'.

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:

This topic has cooked sufficiently long in 'next'.  I'd push it to
'master' so that it now would have enough exposure time before the
next release.

But I'd do so with a bit of twist.

I plan to hold off the final step.  That step allows to pass
anything until Git 3.0.  That way, those who work with the version
in 'master' will see how things would look like with these strict
checks that allowlist only a few types of selected control sequences
by default.  With luck, we might not hear any complaints from
anybody, in which case we may not have to apply the last step at all.

Of course, if there are huge complaints, then we may have to
reconsider the approach to allow only the selected sequences and
instead blacklist known bad/risky sequences.  In such a case, we may
have to revert the merge first before we regroup, but it is more
than likely that we won't have to do so---after all, the topic
(without the final "loosen rules for now" step) has been used by
those who are on 'next' for quite a while already.  Knock wood...

I’m very glad that it ready for `next`. But... please hold off on
merging it to `next` for the next version. I managed to make an
AsciiDoc mistake.

Sorry about that.

I just sent[1] a reroll of this one, which should be ready to go.

I think that this one is as ready as it will be. Peff reviewed v2[2] and
noted a couple of minor things which I addressed in v3. Peff's review of
v3 didn't note any further issues, so I think this is ready to go.

(+CC Peff here in case I'm misrepresenting his review.)

Thanks,
Taylor
