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'] * ad/t1517-short-help-tests-fix (2025-08-19) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2025-08-21 at f686ad352a) + t/t1517: mark tests that fail with GIT_TEST_INSTALLED Test fix. source: <20250819074631.3303-1-adam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> * bc/doc-compat-object-format-not-working (2025-08-25) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2025-08-26 at 5224444f11) + docs: note that extensions.compatobjectformat is incomplete The compatObjectFormat extension is used to hide an incomplete feature that is not yet usable for any purpose other than developing the feature further.
