Git for Windows v2.23.0

Changes since Git for Windows v2.22.0 (June 8th 2019)

New Features

  * Comes with Git v2.23.0.
  * Comes with patch level 3 of the MSYS2 runtime (Git for Windows
    flavor) based on Cygwin 3.0.7.
  * Comes with PCRE2 v10.33.
  * Comes with GNU Privacy Guard v2.2.17.
  * Comes with cURL v7.65.3.
  * Comes with Git LFS v2.8.0.
  * When configuring Git for Windows to use plink, there is now a
    checkbox specifically for TortoisePlink.
  * The FSCache feature is now used with git checkout and git reset in
    sparse checkouts.

Bug Fixes

  * Git for Windows' MSYS2 runtime was patched to fix a bug where
    setting the environment variable SHELL to an empty string in a
    shell script would not only fail to pass that setting to non-MSYS2
    processes (such as git.exe) but also completely skip all
    environment variables that sort after said variable.
  * git clean -dfx no longer follows NTFS junction points (also known
    as mount points).
  * A workaround now allows cloning to certain network drives (e.g.
    Isilon).
  * Fixed CVE-2019-1211 in MinGit/Portable Git by being more careful
    about validating the Windows-wide config.
