A maintenance release Git v2.3.8 is now available at the usual

among other things.  It will be the last for 2.3.x series for now.

The tarballs are found at:

The following public repositories all have a copy of the 'v2.3.8'
tag and some of them also have the 'maint-2.3' branch that the tag

Git v2.3.8 Release Notes
========================

Fixes since v2.3.7
------------------

 * The usual "git diff" when seeing a file turning into a directory
   showed a patchset to remove the file and create all files in the
   directory, but "git diff --no-index" simply refused to work.  Also,
   when asked to compare a file and a directory, imitate POSIX "diff"
   and compare the file with the file with the same name in the
   directory, instead of refusing to run.

 * The default $HOME/.gitconfig file created upon "git config --global"
   that edits it had incorrectly spelled user.name and user.email
   entries in it.

 * "git commit --date=now" or anything that relies on approxidate lost
   the daylight-saving-time offset.

Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code
clean-ups.

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

Changes since v2.3.7 are as follows:

Junio C Hamano (5):
      diff-no-index: DWIM "diff D F" into "diff D/F F"
      diff-no-index: align D/F handling with that of normal Git
      parse_date_basic(): return early when given a bogus timestamp
      parse_date_basic(): let the system handle DST conversion
      Git 2.3.8

Matthieu Moy (2):
      Documentation: change -L:<regex> to -L:<funcname>
      log -L: improve error message on malformed argument
