--------------------------------------------------
Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with
'-' are only in 'pu' (proposed updates) while commits prefixed with
'+' are in 'next'.
According to tinyurl.com/gitCal, the feature freeze for this cycle
is scheduled for the end of this month. What's in the 'next' branch
as of today looks more or less complete picture, I would think. I'd
like to ask area maintainers of git-svn, gitk and git-gui to please
prepare to wrap up the accumulated changes for this cycle and throw
a pull request to me. Thanks.
You can find the changes described here in the integration branches
of the repositories listed at

- t7610-mergetool: add test cases for mergetool.writeToTemp
- mergetool: add an option for writing to a temporary directory

- pack-objects: turn off bitmaps when we split packs
Allow a temporary directory specified to be used while running "git
mergetool" backend.
Splitting pack-objects output into multiple packs is incompatible
with the use of reachability bitmap.

Add machinery to alternatively use AsciiDoctor to format our
documentation.
Add managed "env" array to child_process to clarify the lifetime
rules.

Looked mostly sensible modulo minor nits (and I wasn't looking for
typos very carefully). Object enumeration is broken.

Tighten the logic to decide that an unreachable cruft is
sufficiently old by covering corner cases such as an ancient object
becoming reachable and then going unreachable again, in which case
its retention period should be prolonged.

The API to update refs have been restructured to allow introducing
a true transactional updates later. We would even allow storing
refs in backends other than the traditional filesystem-based one.
