* What's cooking in git.git (Mar 2026, #09)

From: Junio C Hamano @ 2026-03-24 0:46 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 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).
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/
