The latest maintenance release Git v1.8.2.3 is now available at the usual places.

The release tarballs are found at:

    http://code.google.com/p/git-core/downloads/list

and their SHA-1 checksums are:

2831f7deec472db4d0d0cdffb4d82d91cecdf295 git-1.8.2.3.tar.gz b8d6b3c4077d37b34bf08b6eb53c4ee5901fa2f9 git-htmldocs-1.8.2.3.tar.gz eb04a2540ff9998e0887a4b862641ac1db723f3e git-manpages-1.8.2.3.tar.gz

Also the following public repositories all have a copy of the v1.8.2.3 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
  url = https://code.google.com/p/git-core/
  url = git://git.sourceforge.jp/gitroot/git-core/git.git
  url = git://git-core.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/git-core/git-core
  url = https://github.com/gitster/git

The original tarball location

    http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/

will also have the source tarball, but not the preformatted documentation tarballs.

Git v1.8.2.3 Release Notes ==========================

Fixes since v1.8.2.2 --------------------

 * "rev-list --stdin" and friends kept bogus pointers into the input
   buffer around as human readable object names.  This was not a
   huge problem but was exposed by a new change that uses these
   names in error output.

 * When "git difftool" drove "kdiff3", it mistakenly passed --auto
   option that was meant while resolving merge conflicts.

 * "git remote add" command did not diagnose extra command line
   arguments as an error and silently ignored them.

Also contains a handful of trivial code clean-ups, documentation updates, updates to the test suite, etc.
