Hi all, this is the big "Karsten Blees" release. It features the long-awaited Unicode support that Karsten Blees worked so hard on. It can be downloaded via http://msysgit.github.com/. I also cannot thank enough Erik 'kusma' Faye-Lund for reviewing the massive amount of work and not tiring before everything was done, after a whopping 15 revisions of the patch series. As all Git for Windows releases, this one, too, is dedicated to all the people who contributed to make it better! Ciao, Johannes P.S.: After Git for Windows 1.7.9 was downloaded 2¾ million times, maybe this time we break the 4 million barrier... who nose?
