Well, 2.36.0 did not last very long. 2.36.1 fixes a bunch of usability issues discussed below. The new release is in the usual spot at ITUGLIB and has builds for J- and L-series and OpenSSL 3.0.x, 1.1.1x, and 1.0.2u.

The changes are (pasted from the official git 2.36.1 announcement):
* "git submodule update" without pathspec should silently skip an
uninitialized submodule, but it started to become noisy by mistake.
* "diff-tree --stdin" has been broken for about a year, but 2.36
release broke it even worse by breaking running the command with
<pathspec>, which in turn broke "gitk" and got noticed. This has
been corrected by aligning its behaviour to that of "log".
* Regression fix for 2.36 where "git name-rev" started to sometimes
reference strings after they are freed.
* "git show <commit1> <commit2>... -- <pathspec>" lost the pathspec
when showing the second and subsequent commits, which has been
corrected.
* "git fast-export -- <pathspec>" lost the pathspec when showing the
second and subsequent commits, which has been corrected.
* "git format-patch <args> -- <pathspec>" lost the pathspec when
showing the second and subsequent commits, which has been
corrected.
* Get rid of a bogus and over-eager coccinelle rule.
* Correct choices of C compilers used in various CI jobs.
