After some confusion I realized that the feature is not on your 2.11 branch. Consider this: My last patch on your 2.11 branch is "pack-protocol: fix maximum pkt-line size" (7841c4): https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/commits/v2.11.0-rc0.windows.1?author=larsxschneider My last patch on the Git 2.11 branch is "read-cache: make sure file handles are not inherited by child processes" (a0a6cb): https://github.com/git/git/commits/v2.11.0-rc0?author=larsxschneider Do you have a clue what is going on?

I tried that version on 64bit Win7. Somehow the PATH env. variable does no longer get set correctly. On git-for-windows 2.10.2 my PATH (inside git bash) contains ~75 Entries. With the above installer I only get ~17 ! (Inside cmd.exe I get 61 entries. I set some more entries with by ~/.bashrc) It seems that all entries that contain a path with whitespace (e.g. 'c:\program files (x86)' ) are no longer there. Any ideas ?

I am looking forward to the new release! For some reason my own build of Git for Windows cannot use HTTPS properly. I need to debug this further at some point.

You are absolutely correct. There was a change in MSYS2 that I missed: by default, it re-sets the PATH to be minimal now. This is obviously not what we want. I worked around this in the usual way [*1*]. Thank you so much for testing. It would have been really awful if Git for Windows v2.11.0 would have shipped with this bug. Unfortunately I have to re-build and re-package the installers I promised to upload today; Hopefully I will get around to upload the fixed ones soon. Will keep you posted, Dscho Footnote *1*: https://github.com/git-for-windows/build-extra/commit/db24c0378adf33c07d6c053f39f04a6a025150cc ``` ## Johannes Schindelin, 2016-11-11 18:33 Subject: Re: [ANNOUNCE] Prerelease: Git for Windows v2.11.0-rc0 Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/alpine.DEB.2.20.1611111933001.9967%40virtualbox In-Reply-To: ``` Hi Stefan, On Fri, 11 Nov 2016, Johannes Schindelin wrote: > Will keep you posted, I published the prerelease: https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/tag/v2.11.0-rc0.windows.2 Thanks, Dscho ``` ## Johannes Schindelin, 2016-11-11 18:37 Subject: Re: [git-for-windows] [ANNOUNCE] Prerelease: Git for Windows v2.11.0-rc0 Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/alpine.DEB.2.20.1611111936510.3746%40virtualbox In-Reply-To: ``` Hi Lars, On Fri, 11 Nov 2016, Lars Schneider wrote: > > On 10 Nov 2016, at 22:39, Johannes Schindelin wrote: > > > Hi Lars, > > > > On Wed, 9 Nov 2016, Lars Schneider wrote: > > > >> On 05 Nov 2016, at 10:50, Johannes Schindelin wrote: > >> > >>> I finally got around to rebase the Windows-specific patches (which seem to > >>> not make it upstream as fast as we get new ones) on top of upstream Git > >>> v2.11.0-rc0, and to bundle installers, portable Git and MinGit [*1*]: > >>> > >>> https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/tag/v2.11.0-rc0.windows.1 > >> > >> > >> I tested a new feature in 2.11 on Windows today and it failed.
