The tests and their prerequisites have been updated to\n   check what they really require.\n\n * The configuration variable 'mailinfo.scissors' was hard to\n   discover in the documentation.\n\n * Correct a breakage to git-svn around v2.2 era that triggers\n   premature closing of FileHandle.\n\n * Even though we officially haven't dropped Perl 5.8 support, the\n   Getopt::Long package that came with it does not support \"--no-\"\n   prefix to negate a boolean option; manually add support to help\n   people with older Getopt::Long package.\n\nAlso contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code clean-ups.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nChanges since v2.3.1 are as follows:\n\nAleksander Boruch-Gruszecki (1):\n      merge-file: correctly open files when in a subdir\n\nAleksey Vasenev (1):\n      wincred: fix get credential if username has \"@\"\n\nAlexander Kuleshov (1):\n      Git.pm: two minor typo fixes\n\nEric Sunshine (1):\n      builtin/blame: destroy initialized commit_info only\n\nJeff King (8):\n      t/lib-httpd: switch SANITY check for NOT_ROOT\n      t/lib-gpg: include separate public keys in keyring.gpg\n      t/lib-gpg: sanity-check that we can actually sign\n      config: do not ungetc EOF\n      decimal_width: avoid integer overflow\n      config_buf_ungetc: warn when pushing back a random character\n      for_each_loose_file_in_objdir: take an optional strbuf path\n      fast-import: avoid running end_packfile recursively\n\nJonathon Mah (1):\n      sha1_file: fix iterating loose alternate objects\n\nJunio C Hamano (7):\n      tests: correct misuses of POSIXPERM\n      config.txt: clarify that add.ignore-errors is deprecated\n      config.txt: mark deprecated variables more prominently\n      Documentation/git-remote.txt: stress that set-url is not for triangular\n      CodingGuidelines: describe naming rules for configuration variables\n      Prepare for 2.3.2\n      Git 2.3.2\n\nKirill A.
