Git for Windows v2.7.0(2)
Changes since Git for Windows v2.7.0 (January 5th 2016)
New Features
• To stave off exploits, Git for Windows now uses Address Space
Layout Randomization (ASLR) and Data Execution Prevention (DEP).
• Git for Windows' support for git pull --rebase=interactive that was
dropped when the pull command was rewritten in C, was resurrected.
• The installers are now dual signed with SHA-2 and SHA-1
certificates.
• The uninstaller is signed now, too.
Bug Fixes
• When installing as administrator, we no longer offer the option to
install quiicklaunch icons because quicklaunch icons can only be
installed per-user.
• If a ~/.bashrc is detected without a ~/.bash_profile, the generated
file will now also source ~/.profile if that exists.
• The environment variable HOME can now be used to set the home
directory even when running with accounts that are part of a
different domain than the current (non-domain-joined) machine (in
which case the MSys2 runtime has no way to emulate POSIX-style
UIDs).
• Git can now fetch and push via HTTPS even when the http.sslCAInfo
config variable was unset.
• Git for Windows is now handling the case gracefully where the
current user has no permission to list the parent of the current
directory.
• More file locking issues ("Unlink of file ... failed. Should I try
again?") were fixed.
