For now, this is opt-in, with the idea of eventually retiring GCM for Windows. * Comes with cURL v7.71.1. * Comes with Perl v5.32.0. * Comes with MSYS2 runtime (Git for Windows flavor) based on Cygwin 3.1.6. * Comes with GNU Privacy Guard v2.2.21. Bug Fixes * A typo was fixed in the installer. * The new git pull behavior option now records the fast-forward choice correctly. * In v2.27.0, git svn was broken completely, which has been fixed. * Some Git operations could end up with bogus modified symbolic links (where git status would report changes but git diff would not), which is now fixed. * When reinstalling (or upgrading) Git for Windows, the "Pseudo Console Support" choice is now remembered correctly. * Under certain circumstances, the Git Bash window (MinTTY) would crash frequently, which has been addressed. * When pseudo console support is enabled, the VIM editor sometimes had troubles accepting certain keystrokes, which was fixed. * Due to a bug, it was not possible to disable Pseudo Console support by reinstalling with the checkbox turned off, which has been fixed. * A bug with enabled Pseudo Console support, where git add -i would not quit the file selection mode upon an empty input, has been fixed. * The cleanup mode called "scissors" in git commit now handles CR/LF line endings correctly. * When cloning into an existing directory, under certain circumstances, the core.worktree option was set unnecessarily. This has been fixed.

I hope that v2.28.0 will be a bit less bumpy than v2.27.0: Git for Windows v2.27.0 shipped with mismatching Perl/Subversion, so that `git svn` was completely unusable. Yet, the most reported bug (and to me it looks like it is the best-reported Git for Windows so far, since the project's inception) was the typo `fast-forard` in the installer. It has been independently reported well over a dozen times, via at least four different channels. Just a quick note: I will be offline for most of the next three weeks, but my colleague Dr Derrick Stolee kindly agreed to prepare the -rc1, -rc2 and final versions. For technical reasons, the announcement mails will still be going out under my name, though.
