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', which means nothing more than that I have found them of interest for some reason (like "it may have hard-to-resolve conflicts with another topic already in flight" or "this may turn out to be useful"). Do not read too much into a topic being in (or not in) 'seen'. The ones marked with '.' do not appear in any of the integration branches, but I am still holding onto them. 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.

"git fetch" and "git pull" are now declared sparse-index clean. Also "git ls-files" learns the "--sparse" option to help debugging. Expecting a reroll. Discussion seems to have stalled, with a few loose ends questions. Also since the branch that this depends on was rerolled, it may benefit from a refresh. source: * fs/ssh-signing-other-keytypes (2021-11-19) 2 commits - ssh signing: make sign/amend test more resilient - ssh signing: support non ssh-* keytypes The cryptographic signing using ssh keys can specify literal keys for keytypes whose name do not begin with the "ssh-" prefix by using the "key::" prefix mechanism (e.g. "key::ecdsa-sha2-nistp256").
