The latest maintenance release Git v2.16.1 is now available at the usual places.

This is solely to fix a brown-paper bag bug that broke "git clone" on case insensitive filesystems of certain projects.

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

The following public repositories all have a copy of the 'v2.16.1' tag and the 'maint' branch that the tag points at:

  url = https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/git/git
  url = git://repo.or.cz/alt-git.git
