This release contains fix for \"git commit --date=now\",\namong other things.  It will be the last for 2.3.x series for now.\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 'v2.3.8'\ntag and some of them also have the 'maint-2.3' branch that the tag\npoints 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\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nGit v2.3.8 Release Notes\n========================\n\nFixes since v2.3.7\n------------------\n\n * The usual \"git diff\" when seeing a file turning into a directory\n   showed a patchset to remove the file and create all files in the\n   directory, but \"git diff --no-index\" simply refused to work.  Also,\n   when asked to compare a file and a directory, imitate POSIX \"diff\"\n   and compare the file with the file with the same name in the\n   directory, instead of refusing to run.\n\n * The default $HOME/.gitconfig file created upon \"git config --global\"\n   that edits it had incorrectly spelled user.name and user.email\n   entries in it.\n\n * \"git commit --date=now\" or anything that relies on approxidate lost\n   the daylight-saving-time offset.\n\nAlso contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code\nclean-ups.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nChanges since v2.3.7 are as follows:\n\nJunio C Hamano (5):\n      diff-no-index: DWIM \"diff D F\" into \"diff D/F F\"\n      diff-no-index: align D/F handling with that of normal Git\n      parse_date_basic(): return early when given a bogus timestamp\n      parse_date_basic(): let the system handle DST conversion\n      Git 2.3.8\n\nMatthieu Moy (2):\n      Documentation: change -L:<regex> to -L:<funcname>\n      log -L: improve error message on malformed argument\n\nOssi Herrala (1):\n      config: fix settings in default_user_config template\n"}]}
