Git for Windows v2.19.0

Changes since Git for Windows v2.18.0 (June 22nd 2018)

New Features

  * Comes with Git v2.19.0.
  * There are now fast, built-in versions of git stash and git rebase,
    available as experimental options.
  * The included OpenSSH client now enables modern ciphers.
  * The gitweb component was removed because it is highly unlikely to
    be used on Windows.
  * The git archimport tool (which was probably used by exactly 0
    users) is no longer included in Git for Windows.
  * Comes with tig v2.4.0.
  * Comes with Git LFS v2.5.1.
  * Comes with Git Credential Manager v1.17.1.
  * Comes with OpenSSL v1.0.2p.
  * Comes with cURL v7.61.1.

Bug Fixes

  * The http.schannel.checkRevoke setting (which never worked) was
    renamed to http.schannelCheckRevoke. In the same run,
    http.schannel.useSSLCAInfo (which also did not work, for the same
    reason) was renamed to http.schannelUseSSLCAInfo.
  * Avoids a stack overflow with recent Windows Insider versions.
  * Git GUI now handles hooks correctly in worktrees other than the
    main one.
  * When using core.autocrlf, the bogus "LF will be replaced by CRLF"
    warning is now suppressed.
  * The funny fatal error -cmalloc would have returned NULL problems
    should be gone.

Second release candidate of 2.19.0

Test balloon: Git for Windows, with the builtin stash and rebase

This should make things rather noticeably faster with rebase and stash
operations.

On the other hand, the code in question is still under review in the
core Git project, and might not be quite as robust as we want it to be.

So here is a test: is this robust enough for end users? Please test
thoroughly, in particular any rebase/stash scenarios you use reguarly.

Zeroth "Release Candidate" of v2.19.0

Git for Windows v2.18.0

Changes since Git for Windows v2.17.1(2) (May 29th 2018)

New Features

  * Comes with Git v2.18.0.
  * Comes with Git Credential Manager v1.16.2.

Bug Fixes

  * The diff filter for .pdf files was fixed.
  * The start-ssh-agent.cmd script no longer overrides the HOME
    variable.
  * Fixes an issue where passing an argument with a trailing slash from
    Git Bash to git.exe was dropping that trailing slash.
  * The http.schannel.checkRevoke setting now really works.

Git 2.18

MinGit for Windows v2.14.4(2)

This is a MinGit-only release; compared to v2.14.4, it only adds code
to force-ignore http.sslCAinfo when the ssl backend is set to `schannel`
(so that the Windows Certificate Store is not ignored). This is really
only relevant when running with cURL v7.60.0 (or later).

Second "Release Candidate" of v2.18.0

Git 2.18-rc2
