Thread: https://gitlist.dev/t/35589 ## Johannes Schindelin, 2013-12-30 23:57 Subject: Git for Windows 1.8.5.2 (preview) Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/alpine.DEB.1.00.1312310043240.1191%40s15462909.onlinehome-server.info ``` Dear fans of Git, this mail brings to you the good news that Git for Windows is available in a new version: 1.8.5.2-preview20131230 Many, many thanks go to the tireless developers working on this particularly hard port of Git. Changes since Git-1.8.4-preview20130916 New Features - Comes with Git 1.8.5.2 plus Windows-specific patches. - Windows-specific patches are now grouped into pseudo-branches which should make future development more robust despite the fact that we have had less than stellar success getting the Windows-specific patches accepted by upstream git.git. - Works around more path length limitations (pull request #86) - Has an optional stat() cache toggled via core.fscache (pull request #107) Bugfixes - Lots of installer fixes - git-cmd: Handle home directory on a different drive correctly (pull request #146) - git-cmd: add a helper to work with the ssh agent (pull request #135) - Git-Cheetah: prevent duplicate menu entries (pull request #7) - No longer replaces dos2unix with hd2u (a more powerful, but slightly incompatible version of dos2unix) In keeping with the fine tradition of making a release on the eve of a holiday, and immediately going on vacation, it is my pleasure to wish you all a happy new year, Johannes -- -- *** Please reply-to-all at all times *** *** (do not pretend to know who is subscribed and who is not) *** *** Please avoid top-posting. *** The msysGit Wiki is here: https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/wiki - Github accounts are free.

For example core.fscache is not listed in the documentation shipped with msysGit-fullinstall-1.8.5.2-preview20131230.exe. Another is git-1.8.5.2.msysgit.0\Documentation\technical\api-hashmap.txt missing as well. Was this intentional? Thank you for all your hard work!
