Git for Windows 2.9.3

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.

v2.9.2.windows.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

v2.9.2.windows.2: 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 2.9.2

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.
