Hey all, yes, it is true: since mid-August I am working for Microsoft. Over a year ago, I got into contact with the Visual Studio Online group at Microsoft, of which I am now a happy member. A large part of my mission is to improve the experience of Git for Windows. This is very exciting to me: I finally can focus pretty much full time on something that I could only address in my spare time previously. Of course, Git for Windows will stay exactly the same project as before. It will not suddenly turn into a Microsoft product. Obviously, it will stay Open Source, its goal remains to bring the awesome Git SCM to Windows, and I will continue to participate actively in the Git community, if anything even more actively. After the release of Git for Windows 2.5.0 and 2.5.1, there are quite a few loose ends to tie up; All the better that I can now dedicate enough time to address them, and that I now also have time to work properly with contributors on improving Git for Windows. I am really excited to join the club of Git developers who get paid to work on Git as part of their day-jobs. In short: for users and contributors of Git for Windows, nothing changes. Except that Pull Requests and issues may be dealt with more swiftly, and that I will actively work on keeping Git for Windows more closely in sync with Git proper. Good times!
