The Git 2.3.1 point release also repairs an error message from the “git commit” command in order to avoid any confusion when adding an author name that doesn’t exist as a value to the “–author=” parameter. The broken pack .idx file that prevented the dumb HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) transport from retrieving a decent copy of the repository has been removed.
