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: https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/ -------------------------------------------------- [Graduated to 'master'] * cc/fast-import-export-signature-names (2025-07-09) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2025-07-15 at a6a173da68) + fast-(import|export): improve on commit signature output format Clean up the way how signature on commit objects are exported to and imported from fast-import stream. cf. <CABPp-BHM5afgiUf7GsTPWmrf_tm6mWnvHWMKiZPxApJzN-U8gg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> source: <20250709141253.623563-1-christian.couder@xxxxxxxxx> * ly/changed-paths-traversal (2025-07-14) 5 commits (merged to 'next' on 2025-07-15 at 45fdb67b92) + bloom: optimize multiple pathspec items in revision + revision: make helper for pathspec to bloom keyvec + bloom: replace struct bloom_key * with struct bloom_keyvec + bloom: rename function operates on bloom_key + bloom: add test helper to return murmur3 hash Lift the limitation to use changed-path filter in "git log" so that it can be used for a pathspec with multiple literal paths. source: <20250712093517.17907-1-yldhome2d2@xxxxxxxxx> * ps/sane-ctype-workaround (2025-07-09) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2025-07-15 at 21b79228e3) + sane-ctype: fix compiler error on Amazon Linux 2 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.
