--------------------------------------------------
Here are the topics that have been cooking in my tree. Commits
no activity (of course they can be resubmit when new interests
arise).
-Let's wait for gitk and possibly po/ and delay the tagging of the
--rc1. Many people are already offline for the end-of-year holidays
-and it is a slow week, and 'master' front has too many new things
-graduated from 'next' a bit too early for me to feel comfortable.
+Hopefully we can tag -rc1 40-hours+ from now.
Extra testing the tip of 'master' before we actually tag it is as
-always very much appreciated. Right now, the optional meson-based
-build does not pass gitweb tests, IIUC.
+always very much 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
