Just a quick note:

I installed v2.20.0-rc0 with these options:

$ cat /etc/install-options.txt Editor Option: VIM Custom Editor Path: Path Option: Cmd SSH Option: OpenSSH CURL Option: OpenSSL CRLF Option: CRLFCommitAsIs Bash Terminal Option: MinTTY Performance Tweaks FSCache: Enabled Use Credential Manager: Enabled Enable Symlinks: Disabled Enable Builtin Rebase: Enabled Enable Builtin Stash: Enabled

When starting the git bash two windows pop up instead of one. One that's "empty" and the other one containing the real git bash.

Thanks,
  Stefan
