What's cooking in git.git (Jan 2025, #02; Mon, 6)
--------------------------------------------------
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).
Git 2.48-rc2 has been tagged. I expect there will be a few more
"finishing touches" before the final release is tagged later this
week. Extra testing the tip of 'master' before we actually tag it
is as always very much appreciated.
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:

Lazy-loading missing files in a blobless clone on demand is costly
as it tends to be one-blob-at-a-time. "git backfill" is introduced
to help bulk-download necessary files beforehand.

- transport: don't ignore git-receive-pack(1) exit code on atomic push
- t5504: modernize test by moving heredocs into test bodies
"git push --atomic --porcelain" used to ignore failures from the
other side, losing the error status from the child process, which
has been corrected.

size.
