Here are the topics that have been cooking in my tree. Commits
prefixed with '+' are in 'next' (being in 'next' is a sign that a
topic is stable enough to be used and are candidate to be in a
future release). Commits prefixed with '-' are only in 'seen', and
aren't considered "accepted" at all and may be annotated with an URL
to a message that raises issues but they are no means exhaustive. A
topic without enough support may be discarded after a long period of
no activity (of course they can be resubmit when new interests
arise).

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.

With maint, master, next, seen, todo:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/
git://repo.or.cz/alt-git.git/
https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/git/git/
https://github.com/git/git/
https://gitlab.com/git-scm/git/

With all the integration branches and topics broken out:

Even though the preformatted documentation in HTML and man format

are not sources, they are published in these repositories for
convenience (replace "htmldocs" with "manpages" for the manual
pages):

this also corrects "git fetch --tags $URL" which was broken by the
new feature in an unspecified way.
