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 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). The tip of the master is hopefully identical to what will be tagged as Git 2.54-rc2 tomorrowy. 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/ -------------------------------------------------- [New Topics] * sp/refs-reduce-the-repository (2026-04-04) 3 commits (merged to 'next' on 2026-04-09 at bb1d626802) + refs/reftable-backend: drop uses of the_repository + refs: remove the_hash_algo global state + refs: add struct repository parameter in get_files_ref_lock_timeout_ms() Code clean-up to use the right instance of a repository instance in calls inside refs subsystem.
