* ab/index-pack-retain-child-bases:
index-pack: retain child bases in delta cache
The subprocess handshake during startup has been made gentler by using
packet_read_line_gently() instead of packet_read_line() to prevent the
parent Git process from dying abruptly when a configured subprocess
(e.g., a clean/smudge filter) fails to start.

"git config foo.bar=baz" is not likely to be a request to read the
value of such a variable with '=' in its name; rather it is plausible
that the user meant "git config set foo.bar baz". Give advice when
giving an error message.

config: improve diagnostic for "set" with missing value
config: add git_config_key_is_valid() for quiet validation
Documentation and tests have been added to clarify that Git's internal
raw timestamp format requires a `@` prefix for values less than
100,000,000 to prevent ambiguity with other formats like YYYYMMDD.

unpack_trees() currently initializes its repository from the
global 'the_repository', even though a repository instance is
already available via the source index.
Use 'o->src_index->repo' instead of the global variable,
reducing reliance on global repository state.
This is a step towards eliminating global repository usage in
unpack_trees().

The documentation for `push.default = simple` has been clarified to
better explain its behavior, making it clear that it pushes the
current branch to a same-named branch on the remote, and detailing
the upstream requirements for centralized workflows.
* ib/doc-push-default-simple:

The 'git-jump' command (in contrib/) has been taught to automatically
pick a mode (merge, diff, or ws) when invoked without arguments.

Formatting object name in full hexadecimal form has been optimized
by using a new strbuf_add_oid_hex() helper function.

triggered a lazy fetch, which has been corrected.
* th/promisor-quiet-per-repo:
promisor-remote: fix promisor.quiet to use the correct repository
Reachability bitmap generation has been significantly optimized. By
reordering tree traversal, caching object positions, and refining how
pseudo-merge bitmaps are constructed, the performance of "git repack
--write-midx-bitmaps" is improved, especially for large repositories
and when using pseudo-merges.

The check for non-stale commits in the priority queue used by
