Sorry to have a typo in my response.

Well, my evidence is what I seen with many windows users in the past. I
have no link or something like that. I just shared that observation.

So we have two different observations. Good. Have no problem with that.

Is that the same git tools or is it a separate implementation?

[Proof of many downloads and other]

Proofs accepted. They do not match my observations but ok.

Sorry, but I was posting my answer to the comment of preferring not to
allow ":" in prefer of using "\" for quoting. I never wanted to attack
you. It was just a response... And I do not remember attacking you
personally to style me "bold".

Currently the source of that all was, that push to pathes with ":" did
break in the current version. I did not ask for implementing something
instead of something different. I just ask for fixing of a regression.

Moreover, as you might know, windows users are more affected by that bug
as they have a colon in every absolute path. Nevertheless I had that
problem on linux but with a map to a windows share.

For more, I have to agree with Philip, that this is a bit off topic. So
please stop taking single words on the personal level. Please stay on
the technical level. My english is to bad to go to personal level
discussions. And I don't want to spend time to personal or (as you
tried) feminism discussions.

Regards
   Klaus
