repack-promisor add helper to fill promisor file after repack\n - pack-write: add explanation to promisor file content\n\n When fetching objects into a lazily cloned repository, .promisor\n files are created with information meant to help debugging. \"git\n repack\" has been taught to carry this information forward to\n packfiles that are newly created.\n\n Retracted.\n cf. \n source: \n"},{"id":"545298","messageId":"airkGWlc69uVsVa8@exploit","threadId":"65792","inReplyTo":"xmqqmrx1oy9y.fsf@gitster.g","subject":"Re: What's cooking in git.git (Jun 2026, #04)","fromName":"Mirko Faina","fromEmail":"mroik@delayed.space","sentAt":"2026-06-11T16:40:21Z","receivedAt":"2026-06-11T16:40:31Z","isPatch":false,"body":"On Thu, Jun 11, 2026 at 09:08:25AM -0700, Junio C Hamano wrote:\n> * mf/revision-max-count-oldest (2026-05-18) 1 commit\n> (merged to 'next' on 2026-06-09 at 076600fa21)\n> + revision.c: implement --max-count-oldest\n> \n> \"git rev-list\" (and \"git log\" family of commands) learned a new \"--max-count-oldest\"\n> that picks oldest N commits in the range instead of the usual newest.\n> \n> Will merge to 'master'.\n> source: \n\nMight want to wait and merge it in with [1].\n\n[1] https://lore.kernel.org/git/a804828a046d8f12ef0d03eaf014807b079bb707.1781102091.git.mroik@delayed.space/\n"},{"id":"545311","messageId":"xmqqmrx0nbzl.fsf@gitster.g","threadId":"65792","inReplyTo":"airkGWlc69uVsVa8@exploit","subject":"Re: What's cooking in git.git (Jun 2026, #04)","fromName":"Junio C Hamano","fromEmail":"gitster@pobox.com","sentAt":"2026-06-11T18:55:10Z","receivedAt":"2026-06-11T18:55:12Z","isPatch":false,"body":"Mirko Faina writes:\n\n> On Thu, Jun 11, 2026 at 09:08:25AM -0700, Junio C Hamano wrote:\n>> * mf/revision-max-count-oldest (2026-05-18) 1 commit\n>> (merged to 'next' on 2026-06-09 at 076600fa21)\n>> + revision.c: implement --max-count-oldest\n>> \n>> \"git rev-list\" (and \"git log\" family of commands) learned a new \"--max-count-oldest\"\n>> that picks oldest N commits in the range instead of the usual newest.\n>> \n>> Will merge to 'master'.\n>> source: \n>\n> Might want to wait and merge it in with [1].\n>\n> [1] https://lore.kernel.org/git/a804828a046d8f12ef0d03eaf014807b079bb707.1781102091.git.mroik@delayed.space/\n\nThanks for reminding me.
