What's cooking in git.git (Apr 2023, #05; Mon, 17)

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 and may be annotated with an URL to a message that raises issues but they are no means exhaustive. 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/

Release tarballs are available at:

  (merged to 'next' on 2023-04-10 at 09c987c822)
 + branch: improve error log on branch not found by checking remotes refs
 "git branch -d origin/master" would say "no such branch", but it is
 likely a missed "-r" if refs/remotes/origin/master exists.  The
 command has been taught to give such a hint in its error message.

* tk/pull-conflict-suggest-rebase-merge-not-rebase-true (2023-02-13) 1 commit
 - pull: conflict hint pull.rebase suggestion should offer "merges" vs "true"
 In an advice message after failed non-ff pull, we used to suggest
 setting pull.rebase=true, but these days pull.rebase=merges may be
 more inline with the original spirit of "rebuild your side on top
 of theirs".
 On hold. This is too much of a departure from the existing practice.

 - imap-send: remove old --no-curl codepath
 - imap-send: make --curl no-optional
 - imap-send: replace auto-probe libcurl with hard dependency
 - imap-send doc: the imap.sslVerify is used with imap.tunnel
 - imap-send: note "auth_method", not "host" on auth method failure
 Give a hard dependency on cURL library to build "git imap-send",
 and remove the code to interact with IMAP server without using cURL.
 Expecting a reroll.
 The 'tunnel' part is still iffy.

 - SQUASH??? the test marked to expect failure passes from day one
 - checkout/switch: disallow checking out same branch in multiple worktrees
 "git checkout -B $branch" failed to protect against checking out
 a branch that is checked out elsewhere, unlike "git branch -f" did.
 Expecting a hopefully minor and final reroll.

 "cat-file" in the batch mode that is fed NUL-terminated pathnames
 learned to cquote them in its error output (otherwise, a funny
 pathname with LF in it would break the lines in the output stream).
 Breaks "cat-file --batch-all-objects --batch-check".
