charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit 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 are 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 an URL to a message that raises issues but they are no means exhaustive. A topic without enough support may be discarded after a long period of no activity (of course they can be resubmit when new interests arise). Git 2.53-rc0 has been tagged, but do not read too much into it. The fallout from the run-command-hook topic hasn't been sorted out yet, which hopefully should happen before -rc1. Many topics that expected but haven't seen a reroll for quite some time, and/or haven't collected visible support, are moved to the [Stalled] category to be discarded; of course it is perfectly OK to breeze new life into them, once the pre-release freeze is over, but I'd prefer not to distract ourselves during the pre-release period with 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. 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: https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/ -------------------------------------------------- [Graduated to 'master'] * kh/replay-invalid-onto-advance (2026-01-05) 6 commits (merged to 'next' on 2026-01-08 at 1024748f91) + t3650: add more regression tests for failure conditions + replay: die if we cannot parse object + replay: improve code comment and die message + replay: die descriptively when invalid commit-ish is given + replay: find *onto only after testing for ref name + replay: remove dead code and rearrange (this branch is used by ps/history and pw/replay-drop-empty.)
