Git for Windows v2.16.2

Changes since Git for Windows v2.16.1(4) (February 7th 2018)

New Features

  * Comes with Git v2.16.2.
  * For every new Git for Windows version, .zip archives containing
    .pdb files for some of Git for Windows' components are now
    published alongside the new version.
  * Comes with MSYS2 runtime (Git for Windows flavor) based on Cygwin
    2.10.0; This required rebuilding OpenSSH, Perl (and some Perl
    modules) and Subversion.
  * Comes with Bash v4.4 patchlevel 019 .

Bug Fixes

  * The Perl upgrade in Git for Windows v2.16.1(4) broke interactive
    authentication of git svn, which was fixed.
  * When configuring HTTPS transport to use Secure Channel, we now
    refrain from configuring http.sslCAInfo. This also helps Git LFS
    (which uses Git for Windows' private http.sslCAInfo setting) to use
    the same credentials as git fetch and git push.
