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).
A preview release Git 2.55-rc0 has been tagged and pushed out. There
may be a few more topics in 'next' and possibly outside 'next' that
we may want to include in the release that I didn't manage or I
forgot (please let me know).
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:

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):

(merged to 'next' on 2026-06-02 at f70dd05c9c)
+ git-jump: pick a mode automatically when invoked without arguments
The 'git-jump' command (in contrib/) has been taught to automatically
pick a mode (merge, diff, or ws) when invoked without arguments.

+ line-log: integrate -L output with the standard log-tree pipeline
+ revision: move -L setup before output_format-to-diff derivation
The `git log -L` implementation has been refactored to use the
standard diff output pipeline, enabling pickaxe and diff-filter to
work as expected. Additionally, metadata-only diff formats like
--raw and --name-only are now supported with -L.

+ pack-bitmap: check subtree bits before recursing
+ pack-bitmap: pass object position to `fill_bitmap_tree()`
+ Merge branch 'tb/pseudo-merge-bugfixes' into tb/bitmap-build-performance
Reachability bitmap generation has been significantly optimized. By
reordering tree traversal, caching object positions, and refining how
pseudo-merge bitmaps are constructed, the performance of "git repack
--write-midx-bitmaps" is improved, especially for large repositories
and when using pseudo-merges.

The "promisor.quiet" configuration variable was not used from
relevant submodules when commands like "grep --recurse-submodules"
triggered a lazy fetch, which has been corrected.

"git push" learned to take a "remote group" name to push to, which

- prio-queue: fold lazy_queue into prio_queue for automatic get+put fusion
- prio-queue: rename .nr to .nr_ and add accessor helpers
The lazy priority queue optimization pattern (deferring actual removal
in prio_queue_get() to allow get+put fusion) has been folded directly
into prio_queue itself, speeding up commit traversal workflows and
simplifying callers.

Continuation of "setup.c" refactoring to drop remaining global state
(`git_work_tree_cfg`, `is_bare_repository_cfg`). The most notable
outcome is that `is_bare_repository()` has been updated to no longer
implicitly rely on `the_repository`.

(currently size) from a remote server via protocol v2 without
downloading the entire object.
The client dynamically filters format placeholders based on
server-advertised capabilities and safely returns empty strings for
inapplicable or unsupported fields.

- http: preserve wwwauth_headers across redirects
When cURL follows a redirect, the WWW-Authenticate headers from the
redirect target were lost because credential_from_url() cleared the
credential state. This has been fixed by preserving the collected
headers across the redirect update.

symrefs to their referents before queuing updates. This correctly
skips aliases of the current branch and avoids duplicate updates for
underlying real branches, fixing failures when branch aliases (like a
default branch rename) are present.
