What's cooking in git.git (Sep 2025, #04; Wed, 10)

What's cooking in git.git (Sep 2025, #04; Wed, 10)

[Junio C Hamano]

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).

There are a few topics that have been expecting a reroll for close
to a month.  I've moved them to the [Stalled] section below.  Let's
tighten rules around these topics a bit so that we can keep the tree
somewhat cleaner.

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]

* jt/odb-transaction (2025-09-09) 7 commits
 - odb: add transaction interface
 - object-file: update naming from bulk-checkin
 - object-file: relocate ODB transaction code
 - bulk-checkin: drop flush_odb_transaction()
 - builtin/update-index: end ODB transaction when --verbose is specified
 - bulk-checkin: remove ODB transaction nesting
 - Merge branch 'jt/de-global-bulk-checkin' into jt/odb-transaction
 (this branch uses jt/de-global-bulk-checkin.)

 Continue the work to build on the bulk-checkin infrastructure to
 create many objects at once in a transaction and abstract it into
 the generic object layer.

* cc/fast-import-strip-signed-commits (2025-09-10) 2 commits
 - fast-import: add '--signed-commits=<mode>' option
 - gpg-interface: refactor 'enum sign_mode' parsing

 "git fast-import" learned that "--signed-commits=<how>" option that
 corresponds to that of "git fast-export".

--------------------------------------------------
[Stalled]

These topics have been expecting updates for quite some time.  I'll
eject any of them when they start to conflict with other topics in
'seen' and may drop them from my tree when they are dormant for too
long (let's say 8 weeks is way too long, for now).  After that, they
can be proposed again by rerolling them in a shape that would work
well with other topics in 'seen' (and of course 'next' and
"master').

* lc/rebase-trailer (2025-08-03) 2 commits
 - rebase: support --trailer
 - trailer: append trailers in-process and drop the fork to `interpret-trailers`

 communicated from the server side.

 - string-list: allow passing NULL for `get_entry_index`

 The "string-list" API function to find where a given string would
 be inserted got updated so that it can use unrealistically huge
 array index that would only fit in size_t but not int or ssize_t
 to achieve unstated goal.
