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). Git 2.55-rc1 has been tagged and pushed out. There may be a few more topics in 'next' that we may want to include in the release that I didn't manage or I forgot (please let me know), but basically this development cycle is over, the tree is feature-frozen, and remaining topics in 'next' will stay in "Will cook in 'next'" instead of "Will merge to 'master'" state. We'd want to force ourselves to concentrate on addressing topics that are important fixes but still in the "Needs review" state, and of course, find any correct any regressions relative to Git 2.54, until we are ready to tag Git 2.55 final.
