Dear Git fanbois,

this announcement informs you that the small team of volunteers who keep
the Git ship afloat for the most prevalent desktop operating system
managed to release yet another version of Git for Windows:

Git Release Notes (Git-1.9.0-preview20140217)
Last update: 17 February 2013

Changes since Git-1.8.5.2-preview20131230

New Features
- Comes with Git 1.9.0 plus Windows-specific patches.
- Better work-arounds for Windows-specific path length limitations (pull
  request #122)
- Uses optimized TortoiseGitPLink when detected (msysGit pull request
  #154)
- Allow Windows users to use Linux Git on their files, using Vagrant
  http://www.vagrantup.com/ (msysGit pull request #159)
- InnoSetup 5.5.4 is now used to generate the installer (msysGit pull
  request #167)

Bugfixes
- Fixed regression with interactive password prompt for remotes using the
  HTTPS protocol (issue #111)
- We now work around Subversion servers printing non-ISO-8601-compliant
  time stamps (pull request #126)
- The installer no longer sets the HOME environment variable (msysGit pull
  request #166)
- Perl no longer creates empty sys$command files when no stdin is
  connected (msysGit pull request #152)

Ciao,
Johannes
