Dear Git users, It is my pleasure to announce that Git for Windows 2.16.0(2) is available from: https://git-for-windows.github.io/ Changes since Git for Windows v2.15.1(2) (November 30th 2017) Git for Windows now has a new homepage: https://gitforwindows.org/ (it is still graciously hosted by GitHub, but now much quicker to type). New Features * Comes with Git Credential Manager v1.14.0. * The Git for Windows installer now offers to configure Visual Studio Code as default editor for Git. * Comes with OpenSSL v1.0.2n. * git checkout is now a lot faster when checking out a lot of files. * The core.excludesfile can now reference a symbolic link. * Comes with patch level 7 of the MSYS2 runtime (Git for Windows flavor) based on Cygwin 2.9.0. * With lots of files, git reset --hard is now a lot faster when the FSCache feature is in effect. Bug Fixes * When cloning into an existing (empty) directory fails, Git no longer removes said directory. * Interrupting processes (and their children) using Control+C is now a lot more robust.
