+What's cooking in git.git (Nov 2024, #07; Wed, 20)
--------------------------------------------------
Here are the topics that have been cooking in my tree. Commits
no activity (of course they can be resubmit when new interests
arise).
-A few commits to update git-gui are in. There are still too many
-topics that are left unreviewed, and the 'next' branch is not
-gaining topics as quickly as it usually would.
-
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.
