The latest maintenance release Git v2.31.1 is now available at the usual places.

Nothing extraordinary. Just to fix known issues in v2.31 and backport some clean-ups already made for the next feature release.

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

The following public repositories all have a copy of the 'v2.31.1' tag and the 'maint' branch that the tag points at:

  url = https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git
  url = https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/git/git

Git 2.31.1 Release Notes ========================

Fixes since v2.31 -----------------

 * The fsmonitor interface read from its input without making sure
   there is something to read from.  This bug is new in 2.31
   timeframe.
 * The data structure used by fsmonitor interface was not properly
   duplicated during an in-core merge, leading to use-after-free etc.
 * "git bisect" reimplemented more in C during 2.30 timeframe did not
   take an annotated tag as a good/bad endpoint well.  This regression
   has been corrected.
 * Fix macros that can silently inject unintended null-statements.
 * CALLOC_ARRAY() macro replaces many uses of xcalloc().
 * Update insn in Makefile comments to run fuzz-all target.
 * Fix a corner case bug in "git mv" on case insensitive systems,
   which was introduced in 2.29 timeframe.
Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
