What's cooking in git.git (Jul 2025, #06; Tue, 22)

[Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>]

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).

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:

 Our <sane-ctype.h> header file relied on that the system-supplied
 <ctype.h> header is not later included, which would override our
 macro definitions, but "amazon linux" broke this assumption.  Fix
 this by preemptively including <ctype.h> near the beginning of
 <sane-ctype.h> ourselves.

* ow/rebase-verify-insn-fmt-before-initializing-state (2025-06-09) 1 commit
 - rebase: write script before initializing state

 "git rebase -i" with bogus rebase.instructionFormat configuration
 failed to produce the todo file after recording the state files,
 leading to confused "git status"; this has been corrected.

 Expecting a reroll.

* jc/tag-idempotent-no-op (2025-07-11) 1 commit
 - tag: allow idempotent "git tag" without "--force"

 "git tag T O" when the tag T is already pointing at the object O is
 a no-op; we used to but no longer error out such a request and
 require "--force" and instead turn it into a no-op.

 Will discard.

 completely different subproject is now dealt a bit better than
 before.
