Look for files starting with RelNotes.\n\nKnown issues\n\n- Some commands are not yet supported on Windows and excluded from the\ninstallation; namely: git archimport, git cvsexportcommit, git\ncvsimport, git cvsserver, git instaweb, git shell.\n\n- The Logitec QuickCam software can cause spurious crashes. See \"Why does\nmake often crash creating a sh.exe.stackdump file when I try to compile\nmy source code?\" on the MinGW Wiki\n(http://www.mingw.org/wiki/Environment_issues)\n\n- The Quick Launch icon will only be installed for the user running setup\n(typically the Administrator). This is a technical restriction and will\nnot change.\n\n- curl uses $HOME/_netrc instead of $HOME/.netrc.\n\n- If you want to specify a different location for --upload-pack, you have\nto start the absolute path with two slashes. Otherwise MSys will mangle\nthe path.\n\n- git and bash have serious problems with non-ASCII file names (Issue 80,\n159).\n\n- If configured to use plink, you will have to connect with putty first\nand accept the host key.\n\n- As merge tools are executed using the MSys bash, options starting with\n\"/\" need to be handled specially: MSys would interpret that as a POSIX\npath, so you need to double the slash (Issue 226).  Example: instead of\n\"/base\", say \"//base\".  Also, extra care has to be paid to pass Windows\nprograms Windows paths, as they have no clue about MSys style POSIX\npaths -- You can use something like $(cmd //c echo \"$POSIXPATH\").\n\n\nChanges since Git-1.7.2.3-preview20100911\n\nNew Features\n\n- Comes with Git 1.7.3.1 plus patches.\n- Updated to Vim 7.3, file-5.04 and InnoSetup 5.3.11\n\nBugfixes\n\n- Issue 528 (remove uninstaller from Start Menu) was fixed\n- Issue 527 (failing to find the certificate authority bundle) was fixed\n- Issue 524 (remove broken and unused sdl-config file) was fixed\n- Issue 523 (crash pushing to WebDAV remote) was fixed\n"}]}
