This is a MinGit-only release.

Changes since Git for Windows v2.12.0 (February 25th 2017)

New Features

  * In addition to the GitForWindows NuGet package, we now also publish
    MinGit as a NuGet package.
  * Git for Windows now bundles Git LFS.
  * Comes with Git Credential Manager v1.9.0.

Bug Fixes

  * MinGit no longer gets distracted by incompatible libeay32.dll
    versions in C:\Windows\system32.
  * Long paths between 248 and 260 characters were not handled
    correctly since Git for Windows v2.11.1, which is now fixed.
  * The awk.exe shipped with MinGit now ships a previously missing a
    dependency (this fixes git mergetool).
  * Git for Windows does not ship with localized messages to save on
    bandwidth, and the gettext initialization can be skipped when the
    directory with said messages is missing, saving us ~150ms on every
    git.exe startup.
