I have this deployed on some tens of K machines who all use git in one way or another (from automated pulls, to users interactively), and rc0 before that, with a few patches on top from me + Takato + Duy + Derrick since rc0 was released (and since today based on top of rc1). No issues so far. The specific in-house version I have is at: https://github.com/git/git/compare/v2.17.0-rc1...bookingcom:booking-git-v2018-03-23-1 > * Some bugs around "untracked cache" feature have been fixed.

FYI over some >10k machines I tested on around 1% had (very) verbose warnings on "status", which was fixed as a one-off with 'git -c core.untrackedCache=false status' as the ab/untracked-cache-invalidation-docs suggest, and it hasn't happened again since.
