We finally have caught up with Git 2.x and are ready to leave the\n-preview suffix behind (more on that below).\n\nIt is available at https://git-for-windows.github.io/ and also at https://git-scm.com/.\n\nSo how does that affect you?\n\n- The biggest benefit is that we finally have a 64-bit Git for Windows. This\n  not only makes a huge difference with large repositories; It also avoids\n  some bugs (if you are interested in technical details, please have a look\n  at https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/wiki/32-bit-issues).\n\n- Another huge benefit is that we benefit from (and contribute to) the very\n  active MSys2 community; MSys2 is a minimal POSIX system (forked from\n  Cygwin) that sports a package manager and many packages that are kept\n  up-to-date.\n\n- As a consequence of basing Git for Windows on MSys2's packages, Git for\n  Windows now comes with up-to-date versions of Bash and OpenSSL. Oh, and\n  we finally have support in `git svn` for recent Subversion features!\n\n- Since there were not many users of Git Cheetah, the Explorer extension\n  similar to TortoiseSVN, and since there is the actively maintained\n  TortoiseGit, Git for Windows dropped support for Git Cheetah.\n\n- Git for Windows will be maintained more actively from now on, following\n  Git development more closely. And of course, contributions are welcome!\n\n- GitHub for Windows is slated to integrate this new version soon and will\n  continue to follow Git for Windows' development closely.\n\nI probably forgot to mention some really important improvements, so feel\nfree to point them out as replies to this mail.\n\nWork on upgrading Git for Windows to use MSys2 and follow Git 2.x has been a\nlot of work that has been going on since the end of January. It would not have\nbeen possible without substantial support of GitHub, in particular Michael\nHaggerty, Jeff King and Brendan Forster, the help of Karsten Blees, Nalla,\nSebastian Schuberth, and other contributors. The maintenance of Git for\nWindows is supported by Microsoft from now on.\n\nI would like to take the opportunity to thank above-mentioned developers and\ncompanies: this is your release just as much as it is mine.\n\nCiao,\nJohannes\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":"268257","messageId":"CAE2XoE8wkRiokn5eHnt55BJGHimvbTOC=+7DdukzOrDdoXFqfQ@mail.gmail.com","threadId":"40122","inReplyTo":"654220c3a9a816244094a1672fa087bf@www.dscho.org","subject":"Re: Git for Windows 2.5.0","fromName":"罗勇刚 (Yonggang Luo)","fromEmail":"luoyonggang@gmail.com","sentAt":"2015-08-18T16:32:54Z","receivedAt":"2015-08-18T16:32:54Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"luoyonggang@gmail.com","avatar":null},"body":"Johannes Schindelin, Thanks a lot for the great work on Git for Windows.\n\nOn Wed, Aug 19, 2015 at 12:30 AM, Johannes Schindelin <\njohannes.schindelin@gmx.de> wrote:\n\n> Dear Git (for Windows) users,\n>\n> it is my great pleasure to announce the first official version of Git for\n> Windows.
