Git for Windows v2.20.0
Changes since Git for Windows v2.19.2 (November 21st 2018)
Please note that Git for Windows v2.19.2 was offered as a full release
only for about a week, and then demoted to "pre-release" status, as it
had two rather big regressions: 32-bit Git Bash crashed, and git:// was
broken.
New Features
* Comes with Git v2.20.0.
* Comes with OpenSSL v1.1.1a. The OpenSSH, cURL and Heimdal packages
were rebuilt to make use of OpenSSL v1.1.1a.
* The FSCache feature was further optimized in particular for very
large repositories.
* To appease certain anti-malware, MinTTY was recompiled with a patch
to avoid GCC trampolines.
* Comes with Git LFS v2.6.1.
* Comes with Bash v4.4 patchlevel 023 .
* Commands to interact with CVS repositories were considered obsolete
and have been removed.
* The desired HTTP version (HTTP/2 or HTTP/1.1) can now be configured
via the http.version setting.
Bug Fixes
* Git CMD no longer picks up git.exe from the current directory (if
any).
* Git Bash works again in 32-bit Git for Windows.
* Git can now access git:// remotes again.
* The confusing descriptions of the PATH options in the installer
were clarified.
* A bug in the notepad support in conjunction with line wrapping was
fixed.
* Comes two backported fixes to allow NTLM/Kerberos authentication to
fall back to HTTP/1.1.
* It is now possible to call cmd\git.exe via a symbolic link.
