[ANNOUNCE] Git for Windows 2.47.0-rc0

Dear Git users,

I hereby announce that Git for Windows 2.47.0-rc0 is available from:

    https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/tag/v2.47.0-rc0.windows.1

Changes since Git for Windows v2.46.2 (September 24th 2024)

Git for Windows for Windows v2.47 drops support for Windows 7 and for Windows 8, as announced previously.

Please also note that the 32-bit variant of Git for Windows is deprecated; Its last official release is planned for 2025.

New Features

  * Comes with Git v2.47.0-rc0.
  * Comes with the MSYS2 runtime (Git for Windows flavor) based on
    Cygwin v3.5.4, which drops Windows 7 and Windows 8 support.
  * The new, experimental git backfill command was added: It helps
    fetching relevant Git objects smartly in a partial, sparse clone.
  * The new, experimental git survey command was added. This command is
    designed to help identify less-than-ideal data shape in monorepos,
    and it will likely see highly active development. Stay tuned!
