-----------------------------------------
Here are the topics that have been cooking in my tree. Commits
of no activity (of course they can be resubmitted when new interests
arise).
-Git 2.54-rc1 has been tagged. Let's see how solid this is ;-)
-
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.

+ - repack-promisor add helper to fill promisor file after repack
+ - pack-write: add explanation to promisor file content
When fetching objects into a lazily cloned repository, .promisor
files are created with information meant to help debugging. "git
repack" has been taught to carry this information forward to
packfiles that are newly created.

"git checkout -m another-branch" was invented to deal with local
changes to paths that are different between the current and the new
branch, but it gave only one chance to resolve conflicts. The command
was taught to create a stash to save the local changes.
