Git for Windows v2.16.0(2)
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.
