Dear Git users, it is my pleasure to announce that Git for Windows 2.6.0 is available (see https://git-for-windows.github.io/ for details and download links). Thank you, contributors! Changes since Git for Windows 2.5.3 (September 18th 2015) New Features • Comes with Git 2.6.0 • The WhoUses.exe tool to determine which process holds a lock on a given file (which was shipped with Git for Windows 1.x) gets installed alongside Git for Windows again. • The values CurrentVersion, InstallPath and LibexecPath are added to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\GitForWindows registry key to help third-party add-ons to find us. • When fetching or pushing with Git without a console, we now fall back to Git GUI's askpass helper to ask for pass phrases. • When run through <INSTALL_PATH>\cmd\git.exe, Git will find tools in $HOME/bin now. Bug Fixes • The portable version avoids DLL search path problems even when installed into a FAT filesystem. • Configuring notepad as editor without configuring a width for commit messages no longer triggers an error message. • When using Windows' default console for Git Bash, the .sh file associations work again. • Portable Git's README is now clearer about the need to run post-install.bat when unpacking manually. • We use the winpty trick now to run ipython interactively, too. • When the environment variable HOME is not set, we now fall back correctly to use HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH. • The home directory is now set correctly when running as the SYSTEM user. • The environment variable GIT_WORK_TREE may now differ in lower/ upper case with the Git's idea of the current working directory. • Running git clone --dissociate ... no longer locks the pack files during the repacking phase. • Upstream cURL fixes for NTLM proxy issues ("Unknown SSL error") were backported.
