New Features

default editor if it is installed.

Bug Fixes
* Fixed an issue with recursive clone (CVE 2018-11235).
* Aliases that expand to shell commands can now take arguments
containing curly brackets.
* Ctrl+C is now handled in Git Bash in a sophisticated way: it
emulates the way Ctrl+C is handled in Git CMD, but in a
fine-grained way.
* Based on the the new Ctrl+C handling in Git Bash, pressing Ctrl+C
while git log is running will only stop Git from traversing the
commit history, but keep the pager running.
* Git was fixed to work correctly in Docker volumes inside Windows
containers.
* Tab completion of git status -- <partial-path> is now a lot faster.
* Git for Windows now creates directory symlinks correctly when asked
to.
* The option to disable revocation checks with Secure Channel which
was introduced in v2.16.1(2) now really works.
* Git no longer enters an infinite loop when misspelling git status
as, say, git Status.
