However, Git for Windows may ship those\nthings, and you'd probably want to go to their issue tracker\n(https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues) and talk to them about\nthis.\n\nMy guess is that this was necessary to build and it isn't any longer,\nand because libxml2 has a constant stream of security vulnerabilities,\nit's not something they want to keep shipping, but you'd really have to\ntalk to the Git for Windows folks to be sure.\n\nIf you need a more complete environment on Windows, you may want to try\na Linux distro such as Debian under the Windows Subsystem for Linux,\nwhich will likely provide an up-to-date version of this tool.\n-- \nbrian m. carlson (he/him or they/them)\nToronto, Ontario, CA\n"},{"id":"472983","messageId":"CACw=1eDSag1XE7X6OddtA=b+GPCaw=b3Ceo=sNw8UoA1UUJO1g@mail.gmail.com","threadId":"59338","inReplyTo":"ZAJ8vDUeLDH0CZAd@tapette.crustytoothpaste.net","subject":"Re: Is xmllint no longer supported in (latest) Portable GIT 2.39.2 ?","fromName":"Magnus Asplund","fromEmail":"asplund.magnus@gmail.com","sentAt":"2023-03-04T01:19:59Z","receivedAt":"2023-03-04T01:20:22Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"asplund.magnus@gmail.com","avatar":null},"body":"Hi Brian,\n\nThank you for your quick reply and directing me to Git for Windows.\nI'll check with them about my questions.
