--------------------------------------------------

As 2.34.0 cycle was run rather loosely, we saw our share of
regressions in the release. Hopefully we have caught the major ones
and fixed them all in the 2.34.1 maintenance release that was just
tagged.

I've marked most of the topics that are in 'next' for the 'master'
branch, except for a few topics, but if there are topics that should
be rethought instead, please holler. Once flushing these topics
down to 'master', the tip of 'next' will be rewound and then we'll
start taking new topics to it.

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

'seen'. The ones marked with '.' do not appear in any of the
integration branches, but I am still holding onto them.

The tip of the 'master' branch is still at v2.34.0.

A few topics for regression fixes have been merged to 'next' and
will be merged to 'master' shortly. There are many topics listed as
"New" that are in 'seen', but I haven't read many of them (and I

(merged to 'next' on 2021-11-19 at b44f4d0eb0)
+ SubmittingPatches: fix Asciidoc syntax in "GitHub CI" section

Doc fix.


* ds/add-rm-with-sparse-index (2021-11-22) 1 commit
- dir: revert "dir: select directories correctly"

Regression fix for 2.34


* ev/pull-already-up-to-date-is-noop (2021-11-18) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2021-11-19 at 2d8f0cd000)
+ pull: should be noop when already-up-to-date

"git pull" with any strategy when the other side is behind us
should succeed as it is a no-op, but doesn't.


* hm/paint-hits-in-log-grep (2021-11-19) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2021-11-19 at e146d25c7c)
+ Revert "grep/pcre2: fix an edge case concerning ascii patterns and UTF-8 data"

"git grep" looking in a blob that has non-UTF8 payload was
completely broken when linked with versions of PCREv2 library older
than 10.34 in the latest release.


* jc/save-restore-terminal-revert (2021-11-22) 1 commit
- Revert "editor: save and reset terminal after calling EDITOR"

Regression fix for 2.34

[New Topics]

* ab/ci-updates (2021-11-23) 5 commits
- CI: don't run "make test" twice in one job
- CI: use "$runs_on_pool", not "$jobname" to select packages & config
- CI: rename the "Linux32" job to lower-case "linux32"
- CI: use shorter names that fit in UX tooltips
- CI: remove Travis CI support

* ab/run-command (2021-11-22) 5 commits
- run-command API: remove "argv" member, always use "args"
- run-command API users: use strvec_pushl(), not argv construction
- run-command API users: use strvec_pushv(), not argv assignment
- upload-archive: use regular "struct child_process" pattern

- ls-tree.c: support `--oid-only` option for "git-ls-tree"


* jk/t7006-sigpipe-tests-fix (2021-11-22) 3 commits
- t7006: simplify exit-code checks for sigpipe tests
- t7006: clean up SIGPIPE handling in trace2 tests
- run-command: unify signal and regular logic for wait_or_whine()

The function to cull a child process and determine the exit status
had two separate code paths for normal callers and callers in a
signal handler, and the latter did not yield correct value when the
child has caught a signal. The handling of the exit status has
been unified for these two code paths. An existing test with
flakiness has also been corrected.

Will merge to 'next'.
