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 the 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 the 2.29 timeframe.
