Git for Windows 2.16.0(2)
Changes since Git for Windows v2.15.1(2) (November 30th 2017)
Git for Windows now has a new homepage: https://gitforwindows.org/ (it is still graciously hosted by GitHub, but now much quicker to type).
New Features
- Comes with Git Credential Manager v1.14.0.
- The Git for Windows installer now offers to configure Visual Studio Code as default editor for Git.
- Comes with OpenSSL v1.0.2n.
git checkoutis now a lot faster when checking out a lot of files.- The
core.excludesfilecan now reference a symbolic link. - Comes with patch level 7 of the MSYS2 runtime (Git for Windows flavor) based on Cygwin 2.9.0.
- With lots of files,
git reset --hardis now a lot faster when the FSCache feature is in effect.
Bug Fixes
- When cloning into an existing (empty) directory fails, Git no longer removes said directory.
- Interrupting processes (and their children) using Control+C is now a lot more robust.
