I tested a new feature in 2.11 on Windows today and it failed. After some confusion I realized that the feature is not on your 2.11 branch. Consider this:

My last patch on your 2.11 branch is "pack-protocol: fix maximum pkt-line size" (7841c4): https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/commits/v2.11.0-rc0.windows.1?author=larsxschneider

My last patch on the Git 2.11 branch is "read-cache: make sure file handles are not inherited by child processes" (a0a6cb): https://github.com/git/git/commits/v2.11.0-rc0?author=larsxschneider

Do you have a clue what is going on?

Thanks, Lars
