Dear Git users, It is my pleasure to announce that Git for Windows 2.16.3 is available from: https://gitforwindows.org/ Changes since Git for Windows v2.16.2 (February 20th 2018) New Features * Comes with Git v2.16.3. * When choosing to "Use Git from the Windows Command Prompt" (i.e. add only the minimal set of Git executables to the PATH), and when choosing the Git LFS component, Git LFS is now included in that minimal set. This makes it possible to reuse Git for Windows' Git LFS, say, from Visual Studio. * Comes with gawk v4.2.1. * In conjunction with the FSCache feature, git checkout is now a lot faster when checking out a lot of files. * Comes with Git LFS v2.4.0. * Comes with Git Credential Manager v1.15.0. * Comes with cURL v7.59.0. * The Git for Windows SDK can now be "installed" via git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/git-for-windows/git-sdk-64. * The tar utility (included as a courtesy, not because Git needs it) can now unpack .tar.xz archives. Bug Fixes * When a TERM is configured that Git for Windows does not know about, Bash no longer crashes. * The regression where gawk stopped treating Carriage Returns as part of the line endings was fixed. * When Git asks for credentials via the terminal in a Powershell window, it no longer fails to do so. * The installer is now more robust when encountering files that are in use (and can therefore not be overwritten right away). * The included find and rm utilities no longer have problems with deeply nested directories on FAT drives. * The cygpath utility included in Git for Windows now strips trailing slashes when normalizing paths (just like the Cygwin version of the utility; this is different from how MSYS2 chooses to do things). * The certificates of HTTPS proxies configured via http.proxy are now validated against the ca-bundle.crt correctly.
