Git 2.10-rc1

Git 2.10-rc0

Git for Windows v2.9.3

Changes since Git for Windows v2.9.2 (July 16th 2016)

New Features

  • Comes with Git 2.9.3.
  • Updated Git Credential Manager to version 1.6.0.
  • Includes support for git status --porcelain=v2.
  • Avoids evaluating unnecessary patch IDs when determining which
    commits do not need to be rebased because they are already
    upstream.
  • Sports a new --smudge option for git cat-file that lets it pass
    blob contents through smudge filters configured for the specified
    path.

Bug Fixes

  • When offering to Launch Git Bash after the installation, it now
    launches in the home directory, consistent with the Git Bash Start
    Menu entry.
  • When ~/.gitconfig sets core.hideDotFiles=false, git init respects
    that again.

Git 2.9.3

Second early-bird preview of Git for Windows v2.9.3

In preparation for v2.9.3, another rebase to upstream's `maint` branch,
as well as three more enhancements:

- `git status` now knows the `--no-lock-index` option to avoid locking
  the index

- `git cat-file --smudge` learned the `--use-path=<path>` option to
  allow specifying blob names as SHA-1 and *still* apply the smudge
  filter correctly

- `git init` heeds `core.hideDotFiles=false` in `~/.gitconfig` again

Early-bird preview of Git for Windows v2.9.3

Of course, upstream Git v2.9.3 was not released yet, but the plan is to
release it some time this week.

To prepare for that, here is a preview of MinGit that most notably
includes:

- support for `git status --porcelain=v2`

- more efficient computation which patches can be excluded from rebasing
  because they are already upstream

- the new `--smudge` option that lets `git cat-file` pass blobs through
  any smudge filter configured for the specified path

Git for Windows v2.9.2

Changes since Git for Windows v2.9.0 (June 14th 2016)

New Features

  • Comes with Git 2.9.2 (skipping the Windows release of Git 2.9.1 due
    to a regression caught by the automated tests).
  • Git Credential Manager was updated to v1.5.0.
  • The installer will now refuse to downgrade Git for Windows, unless
    the user assures that it is intended.
  • MinGit, the portable, non-interactive Git intended for third-party
    tools, is now also built as part of Git for Windows' official
    versions.

Bug Fixes

  • When git bundle create is asked to create an empty bundle, it is
    supposed to error out and delete the corrupt bundle file. The
    deletion no longer fails due to an unreleased lock file.
  • When launching git help <command>, the help.browser config setting
    is now respected.
  • The title bar in Git for Windows' SDK shows the correct prefix
    again.
  • We no longer throw an assertion when using the git
    credential-store.
  • When configuring notepad as commit message editor, UTF-8 messages
    are now handled correctly.

Git 2.9.2

Git 2.9.1

Git for Windows v2.9.0

Changes since Git for Windows v2.8.4 (June 7th 2016)

Bug Fixes

  • When running git gc --aggressive or git repack -ald in the presence
    of multiple pack files, the command still had open handles to the
    pack files it wanted to remove. This has been fixed.

Git 2.9

Git for Windows v2.8.4

Changes since Git for Windows v2.8.3 (May 20th 2016)

New Features

  • Comes with Git 2.8.4.

Bug Fixes

  • Child processes no longer inherit handles to temporary files, which
    previously could prevent index.lock from being deleted.
  • When configuring Git Bash with Windows' default console, it no
    longer loses its icon.
