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

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.
