Git for Windows 2.5.1

In addition to synchronizing with Git 2.5.1, this release also contains
the following bug fixes:

* Backspace works with ConHost-based (`cmd.exe`) terminal.

* When there is a `~/.bashrc` but no `~/.bash_profile`, the latter will
  be created automatically.

* When calling a non-login shell, the prompt now works.

* The text in the installer describing the terminal emulator options is
  no longer cut off.

* The `connect.exe` tool to allow SSH connections via HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS
  proxies is included in Git for Windows again, as it was in Git for
  Windows 1.x.

* The `LANG` variable is no longer left unset (which caused troubles
  with vim).

* `call start-ssh-agent` no longer spits out bogus lines.

* It is now possible even behind NTLM-authenticated proxies to install
  Git for Windows' SDK.

* We can handle the situation now when the first `$PATH` elements point
  outside of Git for Windows' `bin/` directories and contain `.dll`
  files that interfere with our own (e.g. PostgreSQL's `libintl-8.dll`).

Git for Windows 2.5.0

Apart from synchronizing with Git 2.5.0, this version brings the
following changes:

- On Windows 7 and later, the *Git Bash* can now correctly be pinned to
  the task bar.

- The size of the installers was reduced again, almost to the levels of
  Git for Windows 1.x.

- Under certain circumstances, when the Windows machine is part of a
  Windows domain with lots of users, the startup of the *Git Bash* is
  now faster.

- Git no longer warns about being unable to read bogus Git attributes.

Git 2.4.7

Git for Windows 2.4.6

Apart from synchronizing with Git 2.4.6, this version brings the
following fixes:

* Git for Windows handles symlinks now, even if core.symlinks does not
  tell Git to generate symlinks itself.
* `git svn` learned *not* to reuse incompatible on-disk caches left
  over from previous Git for Windows versions.

Git 2.4.6

Git for Windows v2.4.5

In addition to synchronizing with upstream's v2.4.5, this version sports
a bug fix in ncurses that cause Bash to segfault when running with
TERM=msys.

Git 2.4.5

Git for Windows 2.4.4 release 2

Changes since Git for Windows 2.4.4:

- git-bash.exe no longer changes the working directory to the user's home
  directory.
- Git can now clone into a drive root.
- For backwards-compatibility, redirectors are installed into /bin/bash.exe
  and /bin/git.exe, e.g. to support SourceTree and TortoiseGit better.
- When using `core.symlinks = true` while cloning repositories with
  symbolic links pointing to directories, [`git status` no longer shows
  bogus modifications.

Git for Windows 2.4.4

Apart from updating to Git 2.4.4, this release candidate also adds the
ability to switch off MSys2's POSIX-to-Windows path conversion by
setting the `MSYS_NO_PATHCONV` environment variable.
