Git for Windows 2.7.0(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.
