* jc/add-resolved (2026-07-31) 4 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2026-08-08 at 61afef3e37)
+ add: introduce '--resolved' option
+ read-cache: add remove_file_from_index_with_flags()
+ merge-ll: consolidate conflict marker scanning logic
+ read-cache: reindent

'git add' has been taught a new '--resolved' option to stage
conflict-resolved paths, while leaving unrelated local changes
unstaged. It scans the unmerged paths for leftover conflict
markers and aborts if any are found.

+ t0213: skip ancestry tests under user-mode emulation

The 'TRACE2_ANCESTRY' prerequisite in the 't0213' test script has been
refined to avoid failures under user-mode emulation by verifying that
the ancestry collector reports the expected process names rather than
the emulator binary name.

+ t7528: fix failure under csh

The 'ssh-agent' tests in 't7528' have been fixed to work when the
user's login shell is csh-like, by explicitly passing '-s' to
'ssh-agent' to force Bourne shell syntax.

+ http: avoid concurrent appends to partial packs
+ http: accept HTTP 416 for complete partial packs
+ http: avoid closing index-pack input twice
+ http-fetch: correct --index-pack-arg documentation

Concurrent downloads of packfiles via packfile URIs and dumb HTTP are
safer by avoiding concurrent appends to the staging file. Opening in
read-write mode with separate file offsets prevents corruption and
preserves resumability. 'fetch-pack' now tolerates pre-existing
'.keep' files.

* hs/rebase-continue-edit (2026-07-21) 1 commit
- rebase: add --[no-]edit to --continue

The test script 't7412' that tests 'git submodule absorbgitdirs' has
been modernized to use test_path_is_file(), test_path_is_dir(), and
test_path_is_missing() helper functions instead of raw 'test -[fde]'
commands.
Support for skipping the editor when continuing a rebase after
conflict resolution has been added with the '--no-edit' option, and
forcing it with '--edit'. A new configuration variable
'rebase.noEdit' can be used to set the default behavior.

- object-name: avoid use-after-free in get_oid_with_context_1()

'git repack' has been taught to accept '--geometric' and '--cruft'
together. When both are given, non-cruft packs are rolled up by the
geometric repack as usual, while a separate cruft pack is written to
collect unreachable objects.
A heap-use-after-free bug in the object name parsing code when
reporting failures with a relative path to a sparse directory has
been corrected.

. submodule absorbgitdirs tests: use test_* helper functions

The test script 't7412' that tests 'git submodule absorbgitdirs' has
been modernized to use test_path_is_file(), test_path_is_dir(), and
test_path_is_missing() helper functions instead of raw 'test -[fde]'
commands.

Waited for response for too long, discarded.

* tb/repack-geometric-cruft (2026-06-28) 11 commits
. SQUASH??? bare grep !???
. repack: support combining '--geometric' with '--cruft'
. pack-objects: support '--refs-snapshot' with 'follow-reachable'
. pack-objects: introduce '--stdin-packs=follow-reachable'
. pack-objects: extract `stdin_packs_add_all_pack_entries()`
. repack-geometry: drop unused redundant-pack removal
. repack: delete geometric packs via existing_packs
. repack: teach MIDX retention about geometric rollups
. repack: mark geometric progression of packs as retained
. repack: extract `locate_existing_pack()` helper
. repack: unconditionally exclude non-kept packs

'git repack' has been taught to accept '--geometric' and '--cruft'
together. When both are given, non-cruft packs are rolled up by the
geometric repack as usual, while a separate cruft pack is written to
collect unreachable objects.

. completion: hide dotfiles by default for path completion
. completion: hide dotfiles for selected path completion

Path completion for commands like 'git rm' and 'git mv' has been
updated to hide dotfiles by default unless the user explicitly starts
the path with a dot, matching standard shell-completion behavior.
