Commits\nprefixed with '+' are in 'next' (being in 'next' is a sign that a\ntopic is stable enough to be used and are candidate to be in a\nfuture release). Commits prefixed with '-' are only in 'seen', and\naren't considered \"accepted\" at all and may be annotated with an URL\nto a message that raises issues but they are no means exhaustive. A\ntopic without enough support may be discarded after a long period of\nno activity (of course they can be resubmit when new interests\narise).\n\nGit 2.48.1 and other maintenance releases have been tagged and\nreleased. A handful of topics that were marked with \"Will discard?\"\nwithout seeing any further activity have been discarded.\n\nThere are quite a few topics that are listed here but without much\nreview activities. I'll review the notes below with list archive\nmyself to see which ones are truly stale and discard them, maybe\nlater next week.\n\nCopies of the source code to Git live in many repositories, and the\nfollowing is a list of the ones I push into or their mirrors.
