What's cooking in git.git (Dec 2022, #07; Mon, 26)

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. A topic without enough support may be discarded after a long period of no activity.

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-vcs/git/
With all the integration branches and topics broken out:
	https://github.com/gitster/git/

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):

	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git-htmldocs.git/
	https://github.com/gitster/git-htmldocs.git/
Release tarballs are available at:

 - commit: don't lazy-fetch commits
 - object-file: emit corruption errors when detected
 - object-file: refactor map_loose_object_1()
 - object-file: remove OBJECT_INFO_IGNORE_LOOSE
 Even in a repository with promissor remote, it is useless to
 attempt to lazily attempt fetching an object that is expected to be
 commit, because no "filter" mode omits commit objects.  Take
 advantage of this assumption to fail fast on errors.
