Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with
11
'-' are only in 'pu' (proposed updates) while commits prefixed with
12
'+' are in 'next'.

14
-A handful of topics have been merged to 'master'. Because there
15
-still are a few obviously good and trivially safe fixes cooking in
16
-'next', it would be pretty much meaningless to tag today's state
17
-as -rc0 (not that -rc0 has meant that much in the first place), so
18
-I'll wait for a few days and merge the remaining such topics from
19
-'next' to 'master' and then tag the -rc0.
14
+An early preview 2.6-rc0 has been tagged. There are a few fixes
15
+that should be merged down to 'master' that are still cooking in
16
+'next', but other than that this should give a fairly good taste
17
+for the upcoming release.

31
- + push: add a config option push.gpgSign for default signed pushes
32
- + push: support signing pushes iff the server supports it
33
- + builtin/send-pack.c: use parse_options API
34
- + config.c: rename git_config_maybe_bool_text and export it as git_parse_maybe_bool
35
- + transport: remove git_transport_options.push_cert

40
-
41
- The client side codepaths in "git push" have been cleaned up
42
- and the user can request to perform an optional "signed push",
43
- i.e. sign only when the other end accepts signed push.

48
- + submodule: allow erroneous values for the fetchRecurseSubmodules option
49
- + submodule: use new config API for worktree configurations
50
- + submodule: extract functions for config set and lookup
51
- + submodule: implement a config API for lookup of .gitmodules values
52
- (this branch is used by sb/submodule-helper.)

59

60
- + write_file(): drop caller-supplied LF from calls to create a one-liner file
61
- + write_file_v(): do not leave incomplete line at the end
62
- + write_file(): drop "fatal" parameter
63
- + builtin/am: make sure state files are text
64
- + builtin/am: introduce write_state_*() helper functions
65
-
66
- Recent reimplementation of "git am" changed the format of state
67
- files kept in $GIT_DIR/rebase-apply/ without meaning to do so,
68
- primarily because write_file() API was cumbersome to use and it was
69
- easy to mistakenly make text files with incomplete lines. Update
70
- write_file() interface to make it harder to misuse.

78
- + log: rename "tweak" helpers
79
-
80
- "git log --cc" did not show any patch, even though most of the time
81
- the user meant "git log --cc -p -m" to see patch output for commits
82
- with a single parent, and combined diff for merge commits. The
83
- command is taught to DWIM "--cc" (without "--raw" and other forms
84
- of output specification) to "--cc -p -m".

- (merged to 'next' on 2015-08-25 at 89eac5a)
89
- + config: silence warnings for command names with invalid keys
90
-
91
- Because the configuration system does not allow "alias.0foo" and
92
- "pager.0foo" as the configuration key, the user cannot use '0foo'
93
- as a custom command name anyway, but "git 0foo" tried to look these
94
- keys up and emitted useless warnings before saying '0foo is not a
95
- git command'. These warning messages have been squelched.

- "git describe" without argument defaulted to describe the HEAD
139
- commit, but "git describe --contains" didn't. Arguably, in a
140
- repository used for active development, such defaulting would not
141
- be very useful as the tip of branch is typically not tagged, but it
142

73

- + commit: don't rewrite shared index unnecessarily
452
+ The use of 'good/bad' in "git bisect" made it confusing to use when
453
+ hunting for a state change that is not a regression (e.g. bugfix).
454
+ The command learned 'old/new' and then allows the end user to
455
+ say e.g. "bisect start --term-old=fast --term=new=slow" to find a
456
+ performance regression.
457
517
- When re-priming the cache-tree opportunistically while committing
518
- the in-core index as-is, we mistakenly invalidated the in-core
519
- index too aggressively, causing the experimental split-index code
520
- to unnecessarily rewrite the on-disk index file(s).
458
+ Michael's idea to make 'good/bad' more intelligent does have
459
+ certain attractiveness ($gname/272867), and makes some of the work
460
+ on this topic a moot point.
