Git for Windows v2.25.0

Changes since Git for Windows v2.24.1(2) (December 10th 2019)

New Features

  * Comes with Git v2.25.0.
  * Comes with GNU Privacy Guard v2.2.19.
  * Comes with Git LFS v2.9.2.
  * When upgrading Git for Windows, by default the installer now only
    shows pages with previously-unseen options.
  * Comes with cURL v7.68.0.

Bug Fixes

  * The startup file for GNU nano, which had been included with DOS
    line endings (and therefore upset nano) is now included with Unix
    line endings again.
  * Git for Windows now fails as expected when trying to check out
    files with illegal characters in their file names.
  * Git now works properly when inside a symlinked work tree.
  * Repositories with old commits containing backslashes in file names
    can now be fetched/cloned again (but Git will still refuse to check
    out files with backslashes in their file names).
  * Git GUI can now deal with uninitialized submodules (this was a
    Windows-specific bug).
  * It is again possible to clone repositories where some past revision
    contained file names containing backslashes (Git will of course
    still refuse to check out such revisions).
