That will work. That's 7pm for me, which is still safely after-hours, but it's better than 2am.

On the other hand, I do not even think that Git for Windows versions _need_ to be released on the same calendar day as Git versions.

For v2.27.0, for example, in hindsight I would have preferred to wait until the next day so that I could have tested it much more thoroughly. The symbolic link stuff we were talking about does not work correctly, and I had missed that because I just "rushed out" a release on what was a holiday for me.

So while I appreciate your concern, I think you need not bend over all that much, it is not necessary.

Thank you! Dscho
