It has a (last-minute) bug fix where the length of symbolic links that is recorded in the Git index is the _actual_ length of the link target, so that `git status` agrees between Git for Windows and WSL Git. Unfortunately, that means that every existing checkout that contains symbolic links tracked by Git will report them as changed until `git add <path-to-symlink>` (or `git add -u`) is called. In cases where users use both Git Bash and another version of Git, this might cause the problem where one of them will always report the symbolic links as modified in `git status`, but not in `git diff`. Sorry about the late heads-up, I only just realized that this might pose a problem. Granted, symbolic links are not all _that_ common on Windows. Ciao, Johannes
