Git for Windows v2.19.0

Changes since Git for Windows v2.18.0 (June 22nd 2018)

New Features

  * Comes with Git v2.19.0.
  * There are now fast, built-in versions of git stash and git rebase,
    available as experimental options.
  * The included OpenSSH client now enables modern ciphers.
  * The gitweb component was removed because it is highly unlikely to
    be used on Windows.
  * The git archimport tool (which was probably used by exactly 0
    users) is no longer included in Git for Windows.
  * Comes with tig v2.4.0.
  * Comes with Git LFS v2.5.1.
  * Comes with Git Credential Manager v1.17.1.
  * Comes with OpenSSL v1.0.2p.
  * Comes with cURL v7.61.1.

Bug Fixes

  * The http.schannel.checkRevoke setting (which never worked) was
    renamed to http.schannelCheckRevoke. In the same run,
    http.schannel.useSSLCAInfo (which also did not work, for the same
    reason) was renamed to http.schannelUseSSLCAInfo.
  * Avoids a stack overflow with recent Windows Insider versions.
  * Git GUI now handles hooks correctly in worktrees other than the
    main one.
  * When using core.autocrlf, the bogus "LF will be replaced by CRLF"
    warning is now suppressed.
  * The funny fatal error -cmalloc would have returned NULL problems
    should be gone.
