Commits\nprefixed with '+' are in 'next' (being in 'next' is a sign that a\ntopic is stable enough to be used and is a candidate to be in a\nfuture release). Commits prefixed with '-' are only in 'seen', and\naren't considered \"accepted\" at all. They may be annotated with a URL\nto a message that raises issues but they are by no means exhaustive.\nA topic without enough support may be discarded after a long period\nof no activity (of course, it can be resubmitted when new interest\narises).\n\nGit 2.55 (final) has been tagged. The next release is tentatively\ncalled Git 2.56. This week is the 0th week of the cycle, which is\ntime to see if there are any brown paper bag breakages and\nregressions we need to fix. Next week, I plan to start merging the\ntopics that have been cooking in 'next' down to 'master'. It has\nbeen customary to rewind 'next' and rebuild it on top of 'master'\nsoon after a major release, but IIRC, we didn't do so in Git 2.55;\nperhaps we can do without rebuilding it this cycle as well. We'll\nsee.\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.
