Git for Windows v2.19.2

Changes since Git for Windows v2.19.1 (Oct 5th 2018)

Please note: Git CMD is deprecated as of this Git for Windows version.
The default is to have git.exe in the PATH anyway, so there is no
noticeable difference between CMD and Git CMD. It is impossible to turn
off CMD's behavior where it picks up any git.exe in the current
directory, so let's discourage the use of Git CMD. Users who dislike
Git Bash should switch to Powershell instead.

New Features

  * Comes with Git v2.19.2.
  * Comes with OpenSSH v7.9p1.
  * The description of the editor option to choose Vim has been
    clarified to state that this unsets core.editor.
  * Comes with cURL v7.62.0.
  * The type of symlinks to create (directory or file) can now be
    specified via the .gitattributes.
  * The FSCache feature now uses a faster method to enumerate files,
    making e.g. git status faster in large repositories.
  * Comes with Git Credential Manager v1.18.3.
  * Comes with Git LFS v2.6.0.
  * Comes with MSYS2 runtime (Git for Windows flavor) based on Cygwin
    2.11.2.
  * The FSCache feature was optimized to become faster.

Bug Fixes

  * The 64-bit Portable Git no longer sets pack.packSizeLimit.
