This behavior is now reinstated.\n\nGit-2.53.0-64-bit.exe | 3b4e1b127dbebea2931f2ae9dfafa0c2343a488a1222009debfe78d5d335e6a9\nGit-2.53.0-arm64.exe | 8eb369bd00582699da1b9afff4e99dc92e8ce984200b424e8b058d79152eb61d\nPortableGit-2.53.0-64-bit.7z.exe | 08713a710ec91ac90de1c09f861289a3b103175f098676e5e664c04dd6c6bf23\nPortableGit-2.53.0-arm64.7z.exe | dc59b7383104d57110e370638854cc1b1fd50de0fa6d293dc941f35094594298\nMinGit-2.53.0-64-bit.zip | 82b562c918ec87b2ef5316ed79bb199e3a25719bb871a0f10294acf21ebd08cd\nMinGit-2.53.0-arm64.zip | dd03826524767f228c9131bc4b2f4d29bc6f550a39fef9bec240f3e312210a1d\nMinGit-2.53.0-32-bit.zip | ecdac7d32670aad730222eccf389a7e07803b7716728d9473d3afc24dc098113\nMinGit-2.53.0-busybox-64-bit.zip | 5b0acffe1d1aab3c5d99884aba5858a89300076f2d1cba906ea1350a3873aad8\nMinGit-2.53.0-busybox-32-bit.zip | 9e4c6523c684558973169071e4a6a3ec5acf0f94a353a5e3f00914672ff72b2e\nGit-2.53.0-64-bit.tar.bz2 | d0a44fba2cc47e053ed987584d8392675c12a1465690ad1a36f09743a2ffe15e\nGit-2.53.0-arm64.tar.bz2 | 30e958eeb59c7f481a56551bcd3633a643b9ff1ef024aac3254c478b0e6d4182\n\nCiao,\nJohannes\n"}]}
