(e.g. - one is used by git-bash.exe \n> and the other git-cmd.exe and cmd/git.exe?)\n\nPlease keep in mind that Git for Windows is a hybrid collection of pure Win32 executables and MSys2 executables (MSys2 is a stripped-down Cygwin providing a POSIX emulation layer on top of the Win32 API[*1*]). They are separated into the `/usr/` and the `/mingw64/` directories, respectively (`/mingw32/` for 32-bit). An example for a pure Win32 executable is `git.exe` while Perl and Bash are MSys2 executables. In general, we avoid MSys2 as much as possible: while it provides a nice POSIX emulation layer, it comes at a noticable performance penalty.\n\nSo whenever we can get away with using OpenSSL compiled as pure Win32 library, we do so. Cloning via HTTPS falls into that category.\n\nWhen it comes to `git-svn` -- something that is needed by many users, still, and indeed the motivation for the most prolific contributor helping me with Git for Windows 2.x -- it is not that easy, though: `git-svn` is a Perl script, our Perl is an MSys2 program and therefore uses OpenSSL compiled as MSys2 library.\n\nThat is the reason why we have separate ssl/ directory structures. One for MinGW (i.e. pure Win32) programs and one for MSys2 ones.\n\n> 2) Why are INSTALL_DIR/usr/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt and \n> INSTALL_DIR/mingw64/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt different?\n\nWe simply use the packages provided by MSys2. The MinGW/MSys2 ca-certificates packages are sometimes out of sync, and that is what you are seeing here.\n\nNow, theoretically it would be possible to reconcile the different ca-certificates packages into a single one.

(e.g. - one is used by git-bash.exe\n> and the other git-cmd.exe and cmd/git.exe?)\n\nPlease keep in mind that Git for Windows is a hybrid collection of pure\nWin32 executables and MSys2 executables (MSys2 is a stripped-down Cygwin\nproviding a POSIX emulation layer on top of the Win32 API[*1*]). They are\nseparated into the `/usr/` and the `/mingw64/` directories, respectively\n(`/mingw32/` for 32-bit). An example for a pure Win32 executable is\n`git.exe` while Perl and Bash are MSys2 executables. In general, we avoid\nMSys2 as much as possible: while it provides a nice POSIX emulation layer,\nit comes at a noticable performance penalty.\n\nSo whenever we can get away with using OpenSSL compiled as pure Win32\nlibrary, we do so. Cloning via HTTPS falls into that category.\n\nWhen it comes to `git-svn` -- something that is needed by many users,\nstill, and indeed the motivation for the most prolific contributor helping\nme with Git for Windows 2.x -- it is not that easy, though: `git-svn` is a\nPerl script, our Perl is an MSys2 program and therefore uses OpenSSL\ncompiled as MSys2 library.\n\nThat is the reason why we have separate ssl/ directory structures. One for\nMinGW (i.e. pure Win32) programs and one for MSys2 ones.\n\n> 2) Why are INSTALL_DIR/usr/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt and\n> INSTALL_DIR/mingw64/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt different?\n\nWe simply use the packages provided by MSys2. The MinGW/MSys2\nca-certificates packages are sometimes out of sync, and that is what you\nare seeing here.\n\nNow, theoretically it would be possible to reconcile the different\nca-certificates packages into a single one.

Hence this option, if implemented, should somehow\nbe clearly marked as system-wide in the installer UI.\n\n1. https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/Locale-Environment-Variables.html\n\n-- \n-- \n*** Please reply-to-all at all times ***\n*** (do not pretend to know who is subscribed and who is not) ***\n*** Please avoid top-posting. ***\nThe msysGit Wiki is here: https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/wiki - Github accounts are free.\n\nYou received this message because you are subscribed to the Google\nGroups \"msysGit\" group.\nTo post to this group, send email to msysgit@googlegroups.com\nTo unsubscribe from this group, send email to\nmsysgit+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com\nFor more options, and view previous threads, visit this group at\nhttp://groups.google.com/group/msysgit?hl=en_US?hl=en\n\n--- \nYou received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups \"Git for Windows\" group.\nTo unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to msysgit+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com.\nFor more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout.\n"},{"id":"265265","messageId":"5592E6B7.10201@virtuell-zuhause.de","threadId":"39444","inReplyTo":"20150630201523.3a00a2afe9321fb28a6fc82d@domain007.com","subject":"Re: 4th release candidate of Git for Windows 2.x, was Re: 3rd release candidate of Git for Windows 2.x","fromName":"Thomas Braun","fromEmail":"thomas.braun@virtuell-zuhause.de","sentAt":"2015-06-30T18:57:59Z","receivedAt":"2015-06-30T18:57:59Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"thomas.braun@virtuell-zuhause.de","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1185677?v=4"},"body":"Am 30.06.2015 um 19:15 schrieb Konstantin Khomoutov:\n> On Mon, 29 Jun 2015 18:19:09 +0200\n> Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> wrote:\n> \n>>> I've finally took time to switch from my old \"msys1\" release to this\n>>> RC4, and immediately got hit by the fact Git is now speaking to me\n>>> in Russian, which is not what I want (previously this behaviour was\n>>> only exhibited by `git gui` and `gitk`).\n>>>\n>>> Should I make Git see LC_MESSAGES=en (or other thing like LANG) in\n>>> the environment or is there some Git-local method to affect this\n>>> behaviour?
