It is comprised of 14 non-merge commits since v2.3.5,\ncontributed by 8 people, 4 of which are new faces.\n\nThere is not much to see there (the changes are mostly documentation\nand test updates), except for updates to diff-highlight in contrib/.\n\nThe tarballs are found at:\n\n    https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/\n\nThe following public repositories all have a copy of the 'v2.3.6'\ntag and the 'maint' branch that the tag points at:\n\n  url = https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/git/git\n  url = git://repo.or.cz/alt-git.git\n  url = https://code.google.com/p/git-core/\n  url = git://git.sourceforge.jp/gitroot/git-core/git.git\n  url = git://git-core.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/git-core/git-core\n  url = https://github.com/gitster/git\n\nNew contributors whose contributions weren't in v2.3.5 are as follows.\nWelcome to the Git development community!\n\n  Ivan Ukhov, Jérôme Zago, Julian Gindi, and Paul Tan.\n\nReturning contributors who helped this release are as follows.\nThanks for your continued support.\n\n  Jeff King, Jonathan Nieder, Junio C Hamano, and Kyle J.

It learned to pay attention to character boundaries\n   (assuming the UTF-8 payload).\n\nAlso contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code\nclean-ups.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nChanges since v2.3.5 are as follows:\n\nIvan Ukhov (1):\n      parse-options.h: OPTION_{BIT,SET_INT} do not store pointer to defval\n\nJeff King (7):\n      t: translate SIGINT to an exit\n      t: redirect stderr GIT_TRACE to descriptor 4\n      t: pass GIT_TRACE through Apache\n      t5541: move run_with_cmdline_limit to test-lib.sh\n      t5551: make EXPENSIVE test cheaper\n      cherry-pick: fix docs describing handling of empty commits\n      howto: document more tools for recovery corruption\n\nJonathan Nieder (1):\n      fast-import doc: remove suggested 16-parent limit\n\nJulian Gindi (1):\n      CodingGuidelines: update 'rough' rule count\n\nJunio C Hamano (1):\n      Git 2.3.6\n\nJérôme Zago (1):\n      gitweb.conf.txt: say \"build-time\", not \"built-time\"\n\nKyle J. McKay (1):\n      diff-highlight: do not split multibyte characters\n\nPaul Tan (1):\n      enter_repo(): fix docs to match code\n"}]}
