COMMITS

Last week there were 34 commits.
🛠️ Fourth batch Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano [email protected] by gitster
🛠️ Merge branch 'ds/commit-graph-on-fetch' A configuration variable tells "git fetch" to write the commit graph after finishing. * ds/commit-graph-on-fetch: fetch: add fetch.writeCommitGraph config setting by gitster
🛠️ Merge branch 'bw/rebase-autostash-keep-current-branch' "git rebase --autostash ", when is different from the current branch, incorrectly moved the tip of the current branch, which has been corrected. * bw/rebase-autostash-keep-current-branch: builtin/rebase.c: Remove pointless message builtin/rebase.c: make sure the active branch isn't moved when autostashing by gitster
🛠️ Merge branch 'ds/include-exclude' The internal code originally invented for ".gitignore" processing got reshuffled and renamed to make it less tied to "excluding" and stress more that it is about "matching", as it has been reused for things like sparse checkout specification that want to check if a path is "included". * ds/include-exclude: unpack-trees: rename 'is_excluded_from_list()' treewide: rename 'exclude' methods to 'pattern' treewide: rename 'EXCL_FLAG_' to 'PATTERN_FLAG_' treewide: rename 'struct exclude_list' to 'struct pattern_list' treewide: rename 'struct exclude' to 'struct path_pattern' by gitster
🛠️ Merge branch 'jh/trace2-pretty-output' Output from trace2 subsystem is formatted more prettily now. * jh/trace2-pretty-output: trace2: cleanup whitespace in perf format trace2: cleanup whitespace in normal format quote: add sq_append_quote_argv_pretty() trace2: trim trailing whitespace in normal format error message trace2: remove dead code in maybe_add_string_va() trace2: trim whitespace in region messages in perf target format trace2: cleanup column alignment in perf target format by gitster
🛠️ Merge branch 'dl/rebase-i-keep-base' "git rebase --keep-base " tries to find the original base of the topic being rebased and rebase on top of that same base, which is useful when running the "git rebase -i" (and its limited variant "git rebase -x"). The command also has learned to fast-forward in more cases where it can instead of replaying to recreate identical commits. * dl/rebase-i-keep-base: rebase: teach rebase --keep-base rebase tests: test linear branch topology rebase: fast-forward --fork-point in more cases rebase: fast-forward --onto in more cases rebase: refactor can_fast_forward into goto tower t3432: test for --no-ff's interaction with fast-forward t3432: distinguish "noop-same" v.s. "work-same" in "same head" tests t3432: test rebase fast-forward behavior t3431: add rebase --fork-point tests by gitster
🛠️ Merge branch 'sg/clean-nested-repo-with-ignored' A bug documentation. * sg/clean-nested-repo-with-ignored: t7300-clean: demonstrate deleting nested repo with an ignored file breakage by gitster

🛠️ Merge branch 'sg/git-test-boolean' Fix an earlier regression in the test suite, which mistakenly stopped running HTTPD tests. * sg/git-test-boolean: ci: restore running httpd tests t/lib-git-svn.sh: check GIT_TEST_SVN_HTTPD when running SVN HTTP tests by gitster
🛠️ Merge branch 'rs/get-tagged-oid' Code cleanup. * rs/get-tagged-oid: use get_tagged_oid() tag: factor out get_tagged_oid() by gitster
🛠️ Merge branch 'en/filter-branch-deprecation' Start discouraging the use of "git filter-branch". * en/filter-branch-deprecation: t9902: use a non-deprecated command for testing Recommend git-filter-repo instead of git-filter-branch t6006: simplify, fix, and optimize empty message test by gitster
