Subject: What's cooking in git.git (Apr 2022, #01; Mon, 4)

From: Junio C Hamano <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 04 Apr 2022 13:53:04 -0700

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 2.36-rc0 preview release has been tagged.  Topics not in 'next'
as of today will need to wait until the next cycle, while we all
shift our attention to finding and fixing regressions in what has
already been merged for 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/

 "git stash" does not allow subcommands it internally runs as its
 implementation detail, except for "git reset", to emit messages;
 now "git reset" part has also been squelched.

* tk/simple-autosetupmerge (2022-02-25) 2 commits
 - t3200: tests for new branch.autosetupmerge option "simple"
 - merge: new autosetupmerge option 'simple' for matching branches

 "git -c branch.autosetupmerge=simple branch $A $B" will set the $B
 as $A's upstream only when $A and $B shares the same name, and "git
 -c push.default=simple" on branch $A would push to update the
 branch $A at the remote $B came from.

 Needs review.
