Sorry for the late reply,
Git for Windows v2.21.0-rc1 is available (since Thursday night, actually)
from here:
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/tag/v2.21.0-rc1.windows.1
I would be highly grateful for extensive testing, also for -rc2 (because
we just updated the MSYS2 runtime to be based on Cygwin v3.0.0) as soon as
that one comes out.
Thanks,
Johannes
