Notes from the Git Contributor's Summit, 2022

It was wonderful to see everybody in person again a couple of weeks ago at Git Merge :-).

Now that things have begun to settle after the conference, I polished up the notes that were taken during the Contributor's Summit to share on the list.

The notes are available in Google Docs, too, for folks who prefer to view them there are the following link:

At the Contributor's Summit, we discussed the following topics:

  - Bundle URIs (12 votes)
  - State of sha256 transition (8 votes)
  - Timeline: Deleting merge-recursive, remapping 'recursive' to 'ort' (8 votes)
  - git clone --filter=commit:0 (8 votes)
  - Managing ever growing pack index sizes on servers (8 votes)
  - The next year of bitmap work (5 votes)
  - Server side merges and rebases (& new rebase/cherry-pick UI?) (7 votes)
  - State of sparsity developments and future plans (7 votes)
  - Ideas for speeding up object connectivity checks in git-receive-pack (6 votes)
  - Alternative ways to write to VFS-backed worktrees (6 votes)
  - How to run git securely in shared services (6 votes)

The list of all topics proposed (and the number of votes they received) are here:

Some topics were combined together and others didn't have a note-taker, but the vast majority did.

I'll send the broken-out notes for each topic that did have a note-taker in a response to this message for posterity, and so folks can continue the discussion on the list.

(As an aside, if you have any feedback about how the Contributor's Summit went, please feel free to share it with me off-list, as we are already starting to put together plans for next year's Git Merge :-)).

Thanks, Taylor
