[ANNOUNCE] Git v2.29.1

The latest maintenance release Git v2.29.1 is now available at the usual places.

The change in this release affects only those who build from the source *and* install with a non-standard SKIP_DASHED_BUILT_INS option turned on. With the option turned on, Git 2.29 forgot to install a few programs in /usr/bin that made it unusable as the server side to accept pushes and fetches.

To everybody else, this release is irrelevant and ignorable. We know about at least one other brown-paper-bag regression we are going to fix with another maintenance release, so it may be a better idea to wait for 2.29.2 for most people.

The tarballs are found at:
    https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/

The following public repositories all have a copy of the 'v2.29.1' tag and the 'maint' branch that the tag points at:

Git v2.29.1 Release Notes =========================

This is to fix the build procedure change in 2.29 where we failed to install a few programs that should be installed in /usr/bin (namely, receive-pack, upload-archive and upload-pack) when the non-default SKIP_DASHED_BUILT_INS installation option is in effect.

A minor glitch in a non-default installation may usually not deserve a hotfix, but I think Git for Windows ship binaries built with this option, so let's make an exception.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Changes since v2.29.0 are as follows:
Johannes Schindelin (1):
      SKIP_DASHED_BUILT_INS: do not skip the bin/ programs
Junio C Hamano (1):
      Git 2.29.1
