Git for Windows v2.24.0
Changes since Git for Windows v2.23.0 (August 17th 2019)
Note! As a consequence of making git config --system work as expected,
the location of the system config is now C:\Program Files\Git\etc\
gitconfig (no longer split between C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\etc\
gitconfig and C:\ProgramData\Git\config), and likewise the location of
the system gitattributes is now C:\Program Files\Git\etc\gitattributes
(no longer C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\etc\gitattributes). Any manual
modifications to C:\ProgramData\Git\config need to be ported manually.
New Features
* Comes with Git v2.24.0.
* Comes with cURL v7.66.0.
* Comes with Git Credential Manager v1.20.0.
* Comes with OpenSSH v8.1p1.
* Comes with OpenSSL v1.1.1d.
* Comes with Git LFS v2.9.0.
Bug Fixes
* The shell construct <(<command>), which was broken in v2.23.0 (/dev
/fd/<n>: no such file or directory), was fixed.
* The default config no longer skips git-lfs downloads.
* Starting with cURL v7.66.0, $HOME/.netrc can be used instead of
$HOME/_netrc (but it will still fall back to looking for the
latter).
* The installer's "ProductVersion" is now consistent with older Git
for Windows versions'.
* Makes git config --system work like you think it should.
* The (still experimental) built-in git add -p no longer gets
confused about incomplete lines (i.e. a file's l last line that
does not end in a Line Feed).
* A buffer overrun in the code to determine which files need to be
marked as hidden was plugged.
* The support for sendpack.sideband that was removed by mistake was
re-introduced, to support git push via the git:// protocol again.
* git stash no longer records skip-worktree files as deleted after
resolving merge conflicts in them.
* The Git for Windows installer no longer complains about a downgrade
when upgrading from an -rc version, i.e. from a pre-release leading
up to the next major version.
