What's cooking in git.git (Feb 2025, #02; Fri, 7)

[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/

* js/bundle-unbundle-fd-reuse-fix (2025-01-25) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2025-01-29 at e490587933)
 + bundle: avoid closing file descriptor twice

 The code path used when "git fetch" fetches from a bundle file
 closed the same file descriptor twice, which sometimes broke things
 unexpectedly when the file descriptor was reused, which has been
 corrected.

* ps/send-pack-unhide-error-in-atomic-push (2025-02-03) 8 commits
 - send-pack: gracefully close the connection for atomic push
 - t5543: atomic push reports exit code failure
 - send-pack: new return code "ERROR_SEND_PACK_BAD_REF_STATUS"
 - t5548: add porcelain push test cases for dry-run mode
 - t5548: add new porcelain test cases
 - t5548: refactor test cases by resetting upstream
 - t5548: refactor to reuse setup_upstream() function
 - t5504: modernize test by moving heredocs into test bodies

 "git push --atomic --porcelain" used to ignore failures from the
 other side, losing the error status from the child process, which
 has been corrected.

 Will merge to 'next'.

* ds/name-hash-tweaks (2025-01-27) 7 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2025-02-04 at d83bc700a7)
 + pack-objects: prevent name hash version change
 + test-tool: add helper for name-hash values
 + p5313: add size comparison test
 + pack-objects: add GIT_TEST_NAME_HASH_VERSION
 + repack: add --name-hash-version option
 + pack-objects: add --name-hash-version option
 + pack-objects: create new name-hash function version

 "git pack-objects" and its wrapper "git repack" learned an option
 to use an alternative path-hash function to improve delta-base
 selection to produce a packfile with deeper history than window
 size.

 Will merge to 'master'.
