 --------------------------------------------------
 
 Here are the topics that have been cooking.  Commits prefixed with
 '-' are only in 'pu' (proposed updates) while commits prefixed with
 '+' are in 'next'.
 
-Tagged v2.5-rc3 today; hopefully we can have an uneventful 2.5 next
-week and then start the next cycle.  I'll eject/drop the stalled
-topics and ask people to reroll/rebase if their topics are still
-viable.
+Git 2.5 final was tagged and tarballs were pushed out.  Accumulated
+fixes also went to a new maintenance release 2.4.7.  Let's wait and
+see for a few days for any regressions before opening the 'master'
+branch for topics that have been waiting in 'next', as usual.

 of the repositories listed at

+* da/subtree-date-confusion (2015-07-23) 1 commit
+ - contrib/subtree: ignore log.date configuration
+
+ "git subtree" (in contrib/) depended on "git log" output to be
+ stable, which was a no-no.  Apply a workaround to force a
+ particular date format.
+
+ Will merge to 'next'.
+
+
+* db/send-pack-user-signingkey (2015-07-21) 1 commit
+ - builtin/send-pack.c: respect user.signingkey
+
+ The low-level "git send-pack" did not honor 'user.signingkey'
+ configuration variable when sending a signed-push.
+
+ Will merge to 'next'.
+
+
+* jk/refspec-parse-wildcard (2015-07-27) 2 commits
+ - refs: loosen restriction on wildcard "*" refspecs
+ - refs: cleanup comments regarding check_refname_component()
+
+ Allow an asterisk as a substring (as opposed to the entirety) of
+ a path component for both side of a refspec, e.g.
+ "refs/heads/o*:refs/remotes/heads/i*".
+
+ Will merge to 'next'.
+
+
+* jx/do-not-crash-receive-pack-wo-head (2015-07-22) 1 commit

+ Will merge to 'next'.
+
+
+* kd/pull-rebase-autostash (2015-07-22) 1 commit
+ - pull: allow dirty tree when rebase.autostash enabled
+ (this branch uses pt/pull-builtin; is tangled with pt/am-builtin.)
+
+ Teach "git pull --rebase" to pay attention to rebase.autostash
+ configuration.
+
