From: Junio C Hamano
Date: Mon Jan 22 2018 - 00:54:21 EST


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:
