Hi team,

I am unwilling to release Git for Windows v2.16.2 on a Friday night, but I have something almost as good. There is a snapshot available here:

	https://wingit.blob.core.windows.net/files/index.html

That snapshot brings quite a few updated components apart from Git proper (such as an updated MSYS2 runtime), and I would love to ask y'all to give this snapshot a proper "tire kicking".

Think of it as a release candidate. A real one, this really is the revision that I would like to release as Git for Windows v2.16.2 on Monday (with the only change being the version number).

Thank you for your help! Johannes

I've run Bitbucket Server's full Git test suite (~1,500 tests) against the Portable Git snapshot (e1848984d1), no failures to report.

Thank you as always!

Sadly, another user found out that `git svn` is completely broken in the 32-bit versions, and that's what I am trying to figure out right now. Not a problem in Git itself, of course, but in the way the Subversion Perl bindings were built.
