Changes since Git for Windows v2.20.1 (December 15th 2018)

New Features

  * Comes with Git v2.21.0.
  * The custom editor setting in the installer has been improved
    substantially.

  * Comes with cURL v7.64.0.
  * Comes with git-flow v1.12.0.
  * git archive no longer requires gzip to generate .tgz archives (this
    means in particular that it works in MinGit).
  * System-wide Sublime Text installations are now detected and offered
    on the editor wizard page.

Bug Fixes

  * The Git CMD deprecation was further clarified to mention that the
    Start Menu item is deprecated, not using Git from CMD.
  * Certain drivers/anti-malware caused git.exe to hang, which has been
    fixed.
  * git stash now works after staging files with git add -N.
  * A problem with difftool and more than a handful modified files has
    been fixed.
  * The regression where git-cmd <command> would not execute the
    command was fixed.
  * Portable Git can be launched via network paths again.
  * FSCache works again on network drives, in particular when Windows
    8.1 or older are involved.
  * Partially hidden text in the Path options page in the installer is
    no longer hidden.
  * Fixes an obscure git svn hang.
  * The installer now configures editors so that the built-in rebase
    can use them.
