    Hi Everyone,
    The Git fix release builds for 2.37.3 are now available on the ITUGLIB website for J- and L-series systems and the various OpenSSL versions in the usual place.
    Release notes are here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/git/git/master/Documentation/RelNotes/2.37.3.txt
    The highlight for our community is really in terms of fixes to git fsck taking into account file modes, and improvements to sparse reset and sparse checkout functions (well, sparse is always important to me anyway).
    If you are doing build/test yourself for git, test t18001.16 has introduced a bug in the test script that fails on NonStop. This is only a bug in the test, not a bug in git and it is safe to ignore that failure. I am working with others on the git team to get that cleaned up.
    Regards,
    Randall Becker
