The latest maintenance release Git v2.43.2 is now available at the usual places.

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

The following public repositories all have a copy of the 'v2.43.2' tag and the 'maint' branch that the tag points at:

Git 2.43.2 Release Notes ========================

Relative to Git 2.43.1, this release has two important fixes to allow "git imap-send" to be built with NO_CURL defined, and to restore the forced flushing behaviour when GIT_FLUSH=1 is set. It also contains other, unexciting, fixes that have already been merged to the 'master' branch of the development towards the next major release.

Fixes since Git 2.43.1 ----------------------

 * Update to a new feature recently added, "git show-ref --exists".
 * Rename detection logic ignored the final line of a file if it is an
   incomplete line.
 * "git diff --no-rename A B" did not disable rename detection but did
   not trigger an error from the command line parser.
 * "git diff --no-index file1 file2" segfaulted while invoking the
   external diff driver, which has been corrected.
 * Rewrite //-comments to /* comments */ in files whose comments
   prevalently use the latter.
 * A failed "git tag -s" did not necessarily result in an error
   depending on the crypto backend, which has been corrected.
 * "git stash" sometimes was silent even when it failed due to
   unwritable index file, which has been corrected.
 * Recent conversion to allow more than 0/1 in GIT_FLUSH broke the
   mechanism by flipping what yes/no means by mistake, which has been
   corrected.
Also contains documentation updates, code clean-ups and minor fixups.
