+What's cooking in git.git (Sep 2025, #02; Wed, 3)
--------------------------------------------------
Here are the topics that have been cooking in my tree. Commits
no activity (of course they can be resubmit when new interests
arise).
+There are a few topics that have been expecting a reroll for close
+to a month. I've moved them to the [Stalled] section below. Let's
+tighten rules around these topics a bit so that we can keep the tree
+somewhat cleaner.
+
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.
https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/

+[New Topics]
+
+* ds/midx-write-fixes (2025-08-30) 6 commits

+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').
