Any reason Git is not downloading from git.scm/downloads? Thank you.

Why isn't it a good idea? IMHO they are the same. See: * https://github.com/git/git-scm.com/blob/master/app/controllers/downloads_controller.rb * https://github.com/git/git-scm.com/blob/master/lib/tasks/downloads.rake * https://github.com/git/git-scm.com/blob/master/app/views/downloads/installers/index.html.haml > Any reason Git is not downloading from git.scm/downloads? I don't know. But this mailing list is not the right place to report issues of git-scm.com. Please report it here: https://github.com/git/git-scm.com/issues/new Thank you. ```
