+What's cooking in git.git (Jul 2025, #03; Wed, 9)
--------------------------------------------------
Here are the topics that have been cooking in my tree. Commits
no activity (of course they can be resubmit when new interests
arise).
-Since Git 2.50 was tagged, it seems that number of old topics that
-are expecting a reroll has not shrunk. We may want to do something
-about older ones.
-
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.
--------------------------------------------------
