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] * ds/midx-write-fixes (2025-08-30) 6 commits - midx-write: simplify error cases - midx-write: reenable signed comparison errors - midx-write: use uint32_t for preferred_pack_idx - midx-write: use cleanup when incremental midx fails - midx-write: put failing response value back - midx-write: only load initialized packs Fixes multiple crashes around midx write-out codepaths.

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` Expecting a reroll. cf. <198826af571.62b85cb31711042.2415806544948206668@linux.beauty> cf. <xmqqiki7qasu.fsf@gitster.g> source: <20250803150059.402017-1-me@linux.beauty> * ac/deglobal-sparse-variables (2025-07-18) 3 commits - environment: remove the global variable 'sparse_expect_files_outside_of_patterns' - environment: move access to "core.sparsecheckoutcone" into repo_settings - environment: move access to "core.sparsecheckout" into repo_settings (this branch is used by ds/sparse-checkout-clean.)
