[ANNOUNCE] Git v2.3.6

[Junio C Hamano]

The latest maintenance release Git v2.3.6 is now available at the
usual places.  It is comprised of 14 non-merge commits since v2.3.5,
contributed by 8 people, 4 of which are new faces.

There is not much to see there (the changes are mostly documentation
and test updates), except for updates to diff-highlight in contrib/.

The tarballs are found at:

Git v2.3.6 Release Notes
========================

Fixes since v2.3.5
------------------

 * "diff-highlight" (in contrib/) used to show byte-by-byte
   differences, which meant that multi-byte characters can be chopped
   in the middle.  It learned to pay attention to character boundaries
   (assuming the UTF-8 payload).

Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code
clean-ups.

----------------------------------------------------------------
