What's cooking in git.git (Jun 2025, #04; Thu, 12)
--------------------------------------------------
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).
We are almost done with this cycle. As we found out a ntohll
regression that broke big endian boxes with builtin_bswap32/64
supplied by their compilers way too late in the cycle, I'm planning
to queue a revert for a single patch, which may or may not break
Windows ARM64 support that was newly added during this cycle.
Hopefully it is a better tradeoff for the entire Git community to
drop support added by an unreleased product than to break a platform
that has been working OK.
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:
