+
+* jk/commit-graph-lazy-load-fallback (2026-05-18) 1 commit
+ - commit: fall back to full read when maybe_tree is NULL
+
+ The logic to lazy-load trees from the commit-graph has been made
+ more robust by falling back to reading the commit object when
+ the commit-graph is no longer available.
+
+ Will merge to 'next'?

+
+* jk/connect-service-enum (2026-05-18) 1 commit
+ - connect: use "service" enum for "name" argument
+
+ The "name" argument in git_connect() and related functions has been
+ converted to a "service" enum to improve type safety and clarify its
+ purpose.
+
+ Will merge to 'next'.

+
+* aj/stash-patch-optimize-temporary-index (2026-05-19) 1 commit
+ - stash: reuse cached index entries in --patch temporary index
+
+ "git stash -p" has been optimized by reusing cached index
+ entries in its temporary index, avoiding unnecessary lstat()
+ calls on unchanged files.
+ source: <pull.2306.git.git.1779194605735.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
+
+
+* tb/bitmap-build-performance (2026-05-19) 9 commits
+ - pack-bitmap: build pseudo-merge bitmaps after regular bitmaps
+ - pack-bitmap: remember pseudo-merge parents
+ - pack-bitmap: sort bitmaps before XORing
+ - pack-bitmap: cache object positions during fill
+ - pack-bitmap: consolidate `find_object_pos()` success path
+ - pack-bitmap: reuse stored selected bitmaps
+ - pack-bitmap: check subtree bits before recursing
+ - pack-bitmap: pass object position to `fill_bitmap_tree()`
+ - Merge branch 'tb/pseudo-merge-bugfixes' into tb/bitmap-build-performance
+ (this branch uses tb/pseudo-merge-bugfixes.)
+
+ Reachability bitmap generation has been significantly optimized. By
+ reordering tree traversal, caching object positions, and refining how
+ pseudo-merge bitmaps are constructed, the performance of "git repack
+ --write-midx-bitmaps" is improved, especially for large repositories
+ and when using pseudo-merges.

- revision ranges, and includes blobs from boundary commits by default
- to improve performance of subsequent operations.

In a lazy clone, "git cherry" and "git grep" often fetch necessary
blob objects one by one from promisor remotes. It has been corrected
to collect necessary object names and fetch them in bulk to gain
reasonable performance.
