This is called\ntop-posting and considered very, very rude on this mailing list.\n\nAlso, your replies are very succinct, to the point of being incomplete. So\nStefan required a couple of back-and-forths until he finally found out\nwhat your problem is. You could have volunteered more information (as you\ndid in the issue https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/875 that\nyou opened in the correct place: you mentioned the Windows version as well\nas the Git version, although the answer to which options were chosen\n(\"All\") was most likely incorrect, because you have to decide e.g. whether\nyou want CR/LF line endings, LF line endings, or the same line endings as\nare stored in the Git repositories, you cannot choose all of them at the\nsame time).\n\nUnfortunately, the information given in that ticket is still too succinct:\nit does not mention from which version you upgraded. You force us, once\nagain, to guess. My guess is: Git for Windows 1.9.5.\n\nSo now to your real question, which is: why is Git Cheetah no longer\nbundled with Git for Windows 2.x?\n\nThe answer to that is easy: it was too cumbersome to maintain, there have\nbeen almost no contributions, and most users chose to opt for TortoiseGit\nor GitExternals (both of which are much, much larger than Git Cheetah, but\nat the same time they happen to be maintained).\n\nSo there you go.\n\nNext time you report a bug, please spend a little more time on the bug\nreport. It would certainly be appreciated by the people you ask to help\nyou.\n\nCiao,\nJohannes\n"}]}
