+What's cooking in git.git (Nov 2024, #04; Fri, 8)
--------------------------------------------------
Here are the topics that have been cooking in my tree. Commits
no activity (of course they can be resubmit when new interests
arise).
+It has been a bit longer than usual since the last issue of the
+"What's cooking report". We still have way too many topics that are
+not sufficiently reviewed. Help is greatly appreciated.
+
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.
