-[Graduated to 'master']
+[New Topics]
-* am/xdiff-hash-tweak (2025-07-28) 2 commits
- (merged to 'next' on 2025-08-29 at 43590f0b38)
- + xdiff: optimize xdl_hash_record_verbatim
- + xdiff: refactor xdl_hash_record()
+* jt/odb-transaction (2025-09-09) 7 commits
+ - odb: add transaction interface
+ - object-file: update naming from bulk-checkin
+ - object-file: relocate ODB transaction code
+ - bulk-checkin: drop flush_odb_transaction()
+ - builtin/update-index: end ODB transaction when --verbose is specified
+ - bulk-checkin: remove ODB transaction nesting
+ - Merge branch 'jt/de-global-bulk-checkin' into jt/odb-transaction
+ (this branch uses jt/de-global-bulk-checkin.)
- Inspired by Ezekiel's recent effort to showcase Rust interface, the
- hash function implementation used to hash lines have been updated
- to the one used for ELF symbol lookup by Glibc.
- cf. <xmqqecsvqal6.fsf@gitster.g>
- source: <20250728190520.10962-1-amonakov@ispras.ru>
+ Continue the work to build on the bulk-checkin infrastructure to
+ create many objects at once in a transaction and abstract it into
+ the generic object layer.
+ Comments?
+ source: <20250909191134.555689-1-jltobler@gmail.com>
-* da/cargo-serialize (2025-08-26) 1 commit
- (merged to 'next' on 2025-08-29 at 5a193b1525)
- + Makefile: build libgit-rs and libgit-sys serially
- Makefile tried to run multiple "cargo build" which would not work
- very well; serialize their execution to work it around.
-
- source: <20250826233525.2635432-1-davvid@gmail.com>
+* cc/fast-import-strip-signed-commits (2025-09-10) 2 commits
+ - fast-import: add '--signed-commits=<mode>' option
+ - gpg-interface: refactor 'enum sign_mode' parsing
+ "git fast-import" learned that "--signed-commits=<how>" option that
+ corresponds to that of "git fast-export".
-* ds/ls-files-lazy-unsparse (2025-08-15) 1 commit
- (merged to 'next' on 2025-08-29 at a48fee2dde)
- + ls-files: conditionally leave index sparse
+ Comments?
+ source: <20250910080839.2142651-1-christian.couder@gmail.com>
- "git ls-files <pathspec>..." should not necessarily have to expand
- the index fully if a sparsified directory is excluded by the
- pathspec; the code is taught to expand the index on demand to avoid
- this.

+These topics have been expecting updates for quite some time. I'll
+eject any of them when they start to conflict with other topics in
+'seen' and may drop them from my tree when they are dormant for too
+long (let's say 8 weeks is way too long, for now). After that, they
+can be proposed again by rerolling them in a shape that would work
+well with other topics in 'seen' (and of course 'next' and
+"master').
-* ds/path-walk-repack-fix (2025-08-25) 2 commits
- (merged to 'next' on 2025-08-29 at 13028ffb8e)
- + path-walk: create initializer for path lists
- + path-walk: fix setup of pending objects
+* lc/rebase-trailer (2025-08-03) 2 commits
+ - rebase: support --trailer
+ - trailer: append trailers in-process and drop the fork to `interpret-trailers`
- "git repack --path-walk" lost objects in some corner cases, which
- has been corrected.
