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',
which means nothing more than that I have found them of interest for
some reason (like "it may have hard-to-resolve conflicts with
another topic already in flight" or "this may turn out to be
useful").  Do not read too much into a topic being in (or not in)
'seen'.  The ones marked with '.' do not appear in any of the
integration branches, but I am still holding onto them.

Git 2.33 (final) has been tagged.  As it was a shorter cycle that
lasted only for 10 weeks, we may see some regression post release,
so let's see how it goes for a few days before starting the next
round.

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/

* rs/oidtree-alignment-fix (2021-08-15) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2021-08-15 at f03b174faa)
 + oidtree: avoid unaligned access to crit-bit tree

 Codepath to access recently added oidtree data structure had
 to make unaligned accesses to oids, which has been corrected.

[New Topics]

* ar/submodule-run-update-procedure (2021-08-13) 1 commit
 - submodule--helper: run update procedures from C

 Reimplementation of parts of "git submodule" in C continues.

* cb/ci-use-upload-artifacts-v1 (2021-08-15) 1 commit

 Use upload-artifacts v1 (instead of v2) for 32-bit linux, as the
 new version has a blocker bug for that architecture.

 Will merge to 'next'.

* pw/rebase-skip-final-fix (2021-08-13) 3 commits
 - rebase --continue: remove .git/MERGE_MSG
 - rebase --apply: restore some tests
 - t3403: fix commit authorship

 Checking out all the paths from HEAD during the last conflicted
 step in "git rebase" and continuing would cause the step to be
 skipped (which is expected), but leaves MERGE_HEAD file behind in
 $GIT_DIR and confuses the next "git commit", which has been
 corrected.

 Will merge to 'next'.

* ab/help-autocorrect-prompt (2021-08-14) 1 commit
 - help.c: help.autocorrect=prompt waits for user action

 The logic for auto-correction of misspelt subcommands learned to go
 interactive when the help.autocorrect configuration variable is set
 to true.

[Stalled]

* gh/gitweb-branch-sort (2021-06-10) 1 commit
 - gitweb: use HEAD as secondary sort key in git_get_heads_list()

 Tie-break branches that point at the same object in the list of
 branches on GitWeb to show the one pointed at by HEAD early.

 Waiting for reviews.

* lh/systemd-timers (2021-07-02) 3 commits
 - maintenance: add support for systemd timers on Linux
 - maintenance: `git maintenance run` learned `--scheduler=<scheduler>`
 - cache.h: Introduce a generic "xdg_config_home_for(…)" function

 "git maintenance" scheduler learned to use systemd timers as a
 possible backend.

* ao/p4-avoid-decoding (2021-04-12) 2 commits
 - git-p4: do not decode data from perforce by default
 - git-p4: avoid decoding more data from perforce

 "git p4" in Python-2 days used to accept a lot more kinds of data
 from Perforce server as uninterrupted byte sequence, but after
 switching to Python-3, too many things are expected to be in UTF-8,
 which broke traditional use cases.

 Waiting for reviews.

* tv/p4-fallback-encoding (2021-04-30) 1 commit
 - git-p4: git-p4.fallbackEncoding to specify non UTF-8 charset

 "git p4" learns the fallbackEncoding configuration variable to
 safely accept changeset descriptions that aren't written in UTF-8.

 Waiting for reviews.

 The userdiff pattern for "java" language has been updated.

 Will merge to 'next'.

* zh/cherry-pick-advice (2021-08-14) 1 commit
 - cherry-pick: use better advice message

 The advice message that "git cherry-pick" gives when it asks
 conflicted replay of a commit to be resolved by the end user has
 been updated.

* es/config-based-hooks (2021-08-11) 7 commits
 - hook: allow out-of-repo 'git hook' invocations
 - hook: include hooks from the config
 - hook: allow running non-native hooks
 - hook: introduce "git hook list"
 - hook: allow parallel hook execution
 - hook: run a list of hooks instead
 - Merge branch 'ab/config-based-hooks-base' into es/config-based-hooks
 (this branch uses ab/config-based-hooks-base.)

 Revamp the hooks subsystem to allow multiple of them to trigger
 upon the same event and control via the configuration variables.

* mk/clone-recurse-submodules (2021-08-14) 1 commit
 - clone: set submodule.recurse=true if submodule.stickyRecursiveClone enabled

 After "git clone --recurse-submodules", all submodules are cloned
 but they are not by default recursed into by other commands.  With
 submodule.stickyRecursiveClone configuration set, submodule.recurse
 configuration is set to true in a repository created by "clone"
 with "--recurse-submodules" option.

* bc/t5607-avoid-broken-test-fail-prereqs (2021-08-11) 1 commit
 - t5607: avoid using prerequisites to select algorithm

 The current implementation of GIT_TEST_FAIL_PREREQS is broken in
 that checking for the lack of a prerequisite would not work.  Avoid
 the use of "if ! test_have_prereq X" in a test script.

 Will merge to 'next'.

* jk/commit-edit-fixup-fix (2021-08-15) 1 commit
 - commit: restore --edit when combined with --fixup

 Update FreeBSD CI job

 Will merge to 'next'.

* cb/builtin-merge-format-string-fix (2021-08-09) 1 commit
 - builtin/merge: avoid -Wformat-extra-args from ancient Xcode

 Code clean-up.

 Will merge to 'next'.

* ka/want-ref-in-namespace (2021-08-13) 3 commits
 - docs: clarify the interaction of transfer.hideRefs and namespaces
 - upload-pack.c: treat want-ref relative to namespace
 - t5730: introduce fetch command helper

 "git upload-pack" which runs on the other side of "git fetch"
 forgot to take the ref namespaces into account when handling
 want-ref requests.

* np/blame-ignore-revs-file-may-be-optional (2021-08-09) 1 commit
 - blame: add config `blame.ignoreRevsFileIsOptional`

 When the file named by blame.ignoreRevsFile configuration variable
 does not exist, it causes "git blame" to die.  Sometimes, it is
 useful if the files named by configuration variables can be made
 optional (it would allow ~/.gitconfig to give a filename, and make
 it effective only in repositories that have a file with that name).

 This uses an extra variable that marks that the variable is
 optional.  Yet another alternative is being discussed to define
 syntax for "optional" filename values, so that the same mechanism
 can be used for not just blame.ignoreRevsFile but other filenames.

 Queued just as a reminder of the theme.

* cb/ci-build-pedantic (2021-08-11) 1 commit
 - ci: run a pedantic build as part of the GitHub workflow

 CI update.

 Expecting a reroll.

* ds/sparse-index-ignored-files (2021-08-10) 9 commits
 - sparse-checkout: clear tracked sparse dirs
 - sparse-index: add SPARSE_INDEX_IGNORE_CONFIG flag
 - attr: be careful about sparse directories
 - sparse-checkout: create helper methods
 - unpack-trees: fix nested sparse-dir search
 - sparse-index: silently return when cache tree fails
 - sparse-index: silently return when not using cone-mode patterns
 - t7519: rewrite sparse index test
 - Merge branch 'ds/add-with-sparse-index' into ds/sparse-index-ignored-files
 (this branch uses ds/add-with-sparse-index.)

 In cone mode, the sparse-index codepath learned to remove ignored
 files (like build artifacts) outside the sparse cone, allowing the
 entire directory outside the sparse cone to be removed, which is
 especially useful when the sparse patterns change.

* jc/userdiff-pattern-hint (2021-08-11) 1 commit
 - userdiff: comment on the builtin patterns

 Remind developers that the userdiff patterns should be kept simple
 and permissive, assuming that the contents they apply are always
 syntactically correct.

 Will merge to 'next'.

* jk/apply-binary-hunk-parsing-fix (2021-08-10) 1 commit

 "git range-diff" code clean-up.

 Will merge to 'next'.

* js/advise-when-skipping-cherry-picked (2021-08-10) 2 commits
 - SQUASH???
 - sequencer: advise if skipping cherry-picked commit

 "git rebase" by default skips changes that are equivalent to
 commits that are already in the history the branch is rebased onto;
 give messages when this happens to let the users be aware of
 skipped commits, and also teach them how to tell "rebase" to keep
 duplicated changes.

* jt/grep-wo-submodule-odb-as-alternate (2021-08-13) 8 commits
 - t7814: show lack of alternate ODB-adding
 - submodule-config: pass repo upon blob config read
 - grep: add repository to OID grep sources
 - grep: allocate subrepos on heap
 - grep: read submodule entry with explicit repo
 - grep: typesafe versions of grep_source_init
 - grep: use submodule-ODB-as-alternate lazy-addition
 - submodule: lazily add submodule ODBs as alternates

 The code to make "git grep" recurse into submodules has been
 updated to migrate away from the "add submodule's object store as
 an alternate object store" mechanism (which is suboptimal).

* ps/fetch-pack-load-refs-optim (2021-08-04) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2021-08-09 at 4744a01fd5)
 + fetch-pack: speed up loading of refs via commit graph

 Loading of ref tips to prepare for common ancestry negotiation in
 "git fetch-pack" has been optimized by taking advantage of the
 commit graph when available.

 Will cook in 'next'.

 - revision: avoid hitting packfiles when commits are in commit-graph
 - commit-graph: split out function to search commit position

 - revision: separate walk and unsorted flags

 The revision traversal API has been optimized by taking advantage
 of the commit-graph, when available, to determine if a commit is
 reachable from any of the existing refs.

 + bisect: do not run show-branch just to show the current commit

 "git bisect" spawned "git show-branch" only to pretty-print the
 title of the commit after checking out the next version to be
 tested; this has been rewritten in C.

* jc/trivial-threeway-binary-merge (2021-07-28) 1 commit
 - ll-merge: teach ll_binary_merge() a trivial three-way merge

 The built-in merge driver for binary files learned to resolve
 trivial three-way merges (e.g. apply change, which turns A into B,
 to content A) by itself, which would help "git apply --3way" used
 when there is no need to use "--3way".

 Will discard.
 Replace with a trivial-merge logic in apply.c::try_treeway() or
 apply.c::three_way_merge().

 - commit-graph: fix bogus counter in "Scanning merged commits" progress line

 The code to show progress indicator in a few codepaths did not
 cover between 0-100%, which has been corrected.

 The middle one wants to be discarded.

* en/pull-conflicting-options (2021-07-22) 8 commits
 - pull: fix handling of multiple heads
 - pull: update docs & code for option compatibility with rebasing
 - pull: abort by default when fast-forwarding is not possible
 - pull: make --rebase and --no-rebase override pull.ff=only
 - pull: since --ff-only overrides, handle it first
 - pull: abort if --ff-only is given and fast-forwarding is impossible
 - t7601: add tests of interactions with multiple merge heads and config
 - t7601: test interaction of merge/rebase/fast-forward flags and options

 "git pull" had various corner cases that were not well thought out
 around its --rebase backend, e.g. "git pull --ff-only" did not stop
 but went ahead and rebased when the history on other side is not a
 descendant of our history.  The series tries to fix them up.

 Will merge to 'next'.

 span across multiple packfiles.

* ab/test-columns (2021-08-05) 3 commits
 . test-lib.sh: use GIT_TEST_COLUMNS over COLUMNS
 . test-lib-functions.sh: add a test_with_columns function
 . test-lib-functions.sh: rename test_must_fail_acceptable()

 Shells that adjust COLUMNS (e.g. bash with checkwinsize shell
 option), affect and break tests on progress meters and anything
 that depends on term_columns().  An test-only environment variable
 has been introduced as a workaround.

 Seems too involved for a last-minute fix.
