Thank you for testing!

Of course!

I hope that v2.28.0 will be a bit less bumpy than v2.27.0: Git for Windows v2.27.0 shipped with mismatching Perl/Subversion, so that `git svn` was completely unusable. Yet, the most reported bug (and to me it looks like it is the best-reported Git for Windows so far, since the project's inception) was the typo `fast-forard` in the installer. It has been independently reported well over a dozen times, via at least four different channels.

Just a quick note: I will be offline for most of the next three weeks, but my colleague Dr Derrick Stolee kindly agreed to prepare the -rc1, -rc2 and final versions. For technical reasons, the announcement mails will still be going out under my name, though.

Ciao, Dscho
