A maintenance release Git v2.3.8 is now available at the usual places. This release contains fix for "git commit --date=now", among other things. It will be the last for 2.3.x series for now.
The tarballs are found at:
https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/
The following public repositories all have a copy of the 'v2.3.8' tag and some of them also have the 'maint-2.3' branch that the tag points at:

Git v2.3.8 Release Notes ========================
Fixes since v2.3.7 ------------------
* The usual "git diff" when seeing a file turning into a directory showed a patchset to remove the file and create all files in the directory, but "git diff --no-index" simply refused to work. Also, when asked to compare a file and a directory, imitate POSIX "diff" and compare the file with the file with the same name in the directory, instead of refusing to run.
* The default $HOME/.gitconfig file created upon "git config --global" that edits it had incorrectly spelled user.name and user.email entries in it.
* "git commit --date=now" or anything that relies on approxidate lost the daylight-saving-time offset.
Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code clean-ups.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Changes since v2.3.7 are as follows:
Junio C Hamano (5): diff-no-index: DWIM "diff D F" into "diff D/F F" diff-no-index: align D/F handling with that of normal Git parse_date_basic(): return early when given a bogus timestamp parse_date_basic(): let the system handle DST conversion Git 2.3.8
Matthieu Moy (2): Documentation: change -L:<regex> to -L:<funcname> log -L: improve error message on malformed argument
Ossi Herrala (1): config: fix settings in default_user_config template
