  Checking out all the paths from HEAD during the last conflicted
  step in "git rebase" and continuing would cause the step to be
  skipped (which is expected), but leaves MERGE_HEAD file behind in
  $GIT_DIR and confuses the next "git commit", which has been
  corrected.
  Will merge to 'next'.

Thanks

Thank -you- for the series.  You really do not need to comment on
your topic only to say that.  But if you need to _stop_ me from
merging a topic to 'next' (because you want to replace it one more
time, or you see something wrong with it), please don't hesitate to.

  - maintenance: add support for systemd timers on Linux
  - maintenance: `git maintenance run` learned `--scheduler=<scheduler>`
  - cache.h: Introduce a generic "xdg_config_home_for(…)" function
  "git maintenance" scheduler learned to use systemd timers as a
  possible backend.
  Waiting for reviews.

I'd really like to see this merged, there was some discussion a couple
of weeks ago (cf [ref]), it 
petered out but no one seemed to be objecting to merging it.

Thanks for paying attention to this item.

My impression was that everybody likes the ability to use systemd
timers as an alternative to cron, but as Derrick summarised in the
message you pointed at, I think the implementation is not quite
there.

So "Waiting for reviews" is a mislabel; we are waiting for a reroll.

  - cherry-pick: use better advice message
  The advice message that "git cherry-pick" gives when it asks
  conflicted replay of a commit to be resolved by the end user has
  been updated.

I think this is getting there now, I need to look at the tests in v5
but the changes to sequencer.c looked good to me.

Yes.

  - commit: restore --edit when combined with --fixup
  "git commit --fixup" now works with "--edit" again, after it was
  broken in v2.32.
  Will merge to 'next'?

Yes please, there was a new version posted at the weekend but I've
just checked and you've already picked it up in seen.

Yes, this looked good to me, too.

Thanks.
