+What's cooking in git.git (May 2020, #05; Thu, 14)
--------------------------------------------------
Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with
'+' are in 'next'. The ones marked with '.' do not appear in any of
the integration branches, but I am still holding onto them.
-I have been a bit more aggressive than usual in merging topics down
-to 'next' and 'master' this week, in preparation for -rc0, scheduled
-on the 14th. We may need to apply last-minute fixes to some of
-these topics but let's hope that we can keep them to the minimum.
+2.27-rc0 has been tagged. I haven't seen much discussion on
+proposed topics for 2.26.3, so haven't merged anything (yet), but
+now the 'master' and 'next' front would be more quiescent, efforts
+focused on regressions, perhaps people can help pick the topics for
+the maintenance track.
You can find the changes described here in the integration branches
of the repositories listed at

+ CRLF line ending, which has been corrected.

+ + bugreport: collect list of populated hooks
+ (this branch is used by es/bugreport-shell.)
