The latest maintenance release Git v1.8.3.1 is now available at the
usual places.
This is primarily to push out fixes to two regressions that seem to
affect many people, namely, the ".gitignore !directory" bug and the
"daemon cannot read from $HOME owned by root" bug.
The release tarballs are found at:

Git v1.8.3.1 Release Notes
========================
Fixes since v1.8.3

used to complain and die. The check has been loosened.

broken in the update to v1.8.3.
Also contains a handful of trivial code clean-ups, documentation
updates, updates to the test suite, etc.
