Subject: What's cooking in git.git (Nov 2022, #05; Tue, 22)

From: Junio C Hamano <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 23 Nov 2022 03:24:27 +0900

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.

I have been offline for the last couple of weeks, but it seems that
the development community have continued to thrive under Taylor's
care.  Thanks for successfully concluding the "bus factor" exercise,
everybody.  It will probably take me a few more days to catch up
with what is in the tree right now and has been described in the
previous few issues of the "What's cooking" report, and after that
we will have -rc0 for the coming 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:

 - prune: quiet ENOENT on missing directories

 "git prune" may try to iterate over .git/objects/pack for trash
 files to remove in it, and loudly fail when the directory is
 missing, which is not necessary.  The command has been taught to
 ignore such a failure.

* ps/receive-use-only-advertised (2022-11-17) 7 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2022-11-18 at e4a288a7a5)
 + receive-pack: only use visible refs for connectivity check
 + rev-parse: add `--exclude-hidden=` option
 + revision: add new parameter to exclude hidden refs
 + revision: introduce struct to handle exclusions
 + revision: move together exclusion-related functions

 "git receive-pack" used to use all the local refs as the boundary for
 checking connectivity of the data "git push" sent, but now it uses
 only the refs that it advertised to the pusher. In a repository with
 the .hideRefs configuration, this reduces the resources needed to
 perform the check.
