Subject: What's cooking in git.git (Sep 2022, #06; Wed, 21)
Date: Wed, 21 Sep 2022 18:11:09 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <xmqqedw4z00i.fsf@gitster.g> (raw)
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. A topic without enough support may be
discarded after a long period of no activity.
Git 2.38-rc1 has been tagged. Now the 'master' branch is in the
"regression fixes only" mode (cf. https://tinyurl.com/gitCal) until
the final release. I may start dropping patches on a completely new
topics that has no relevance on the upcoming release.
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-vcs/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:
