I'll actually use this opportunity to revamp a part of Git for Windows' release engineering process to try to prevent similar things from happening in the future.

Also, cURL v7.56.1 is slated to be released in exactly one week, and I have some important installer work to do this week, so I'll just defer the new Git for Windows version tentatively to Monday, 23rd.

Git LFS users can always install Git LFS v2.3.3 specifically in the meantime, or use Git for Windows' snapshot versions (https://wingit.blob.core.windows.net/files/index.html).

Ciao, Johannes
