-Git 2.7 has been released.  Also, Git 2.6.5, hopefully the final
-maintenance release for 2.6.x series, has been released.
+It's been a week or so since Git 2.7 was released.  I'll draw the
+projected timeline for the next cycle (which I expect to be a
+shorter and lightweight cycle), reorder 'next' and possibly eject a
+few topics from it to give them a fresh slate to rebuild on, and
+then start the 2.7.x maintenance track soonish, but none of these
+has happened yet; I'm feeling behind X-<.
+
+Big thanks to Stephen Smith for picking up a few topics from the
+Stalled pile and reviving them.  And as always, thanks for the
+regular reviewers (you know who you are) for helping the topics
+move forward.

+ - t0060: verify that basename() and dirname() work as expected
+ - compat/basename.c: provide a dirname() compatibility function
+ - compat/basename: make basename() conform to POSIX
+ - Refactor skipping DOS drive prefixes
+
+ dirname() emulation has been added, as Msys2 lacks it.
+
+ Will merge to 'next', 'master', and then to 'maint'.
+
+ The third-patch has an optional suggestion to make it easier to
+ follow; I'm slightly in favor but lack of a reroll for it is not a
+ showstopper, either.
+
+
+* js/fopen-harder (2016-01-11) 2 commits
+ - Handle more file writes correctly in shared repos
+ - commit: allow editing the commit message even in shared repos
+
+ Some codepaths used fopen(3) when opening a fixed path in $GIT_DIR
+ (e.g. COMMIT_EDITMSG) that is meant to be left after the command is
+ done.  This however did not work well if the repository is set to
+ be shared with core.sharedRepository and the umask of the previous
+ user is tighter.  Make them work better by calling unlink(2) and
+ retrying after fopen(3) fails with EPERM.
+
+ Will merge to 'next'.

+
+* nd/exclusion-regression-fix (2016-01-08) 1 commit
+ - Revert "dir.c: don't exclude whole dir prematurely if neg pattern may match"
+
+ The ignore mechanism saw a few regressions around untracked file
+ listing and sparse checkout selection areas in 2.7.0; the change
+ that is responsible for the regression has been reverted.

+* ss/clone-depth-single-doc (2016-01-08) 3 commits

+ - docs: say "commits" in the --depth option wording for git-clone
+ - docs: clarify that passing --depth to git-clone implies --single-branch
+
+ Updates documents to clarify "git fetch --depth".
