latest update: may 20th 2016
special permissions (and windows vista or later) are required when cloning repositories with symbolic links, therefore support for symbolic links is disabled by default. use <code>git clone -c core.symlinks=true <url></code> to
accept the host key.
some console programs, most notably non-msys2 python, php, node and openssl, interact correctly with mintty only when called through <code>winpty</code> (e.g. the python console needs to be started as <code>winpty python</code> instead
of just <code>python</code>).
if you specify command-line options starting with a slash, posix-to-windows path conversion will kick in converting e.g. "<code>/usr/bin/bash.exe</code>" to "<code>c:\program files\git\usr\bin\bash.exe</code>". when that is not desired -- e.g. "<code>--upload-pack=/opt/git/bin/git-upload-pack</code>"
or "<code>-l/regex/</code>" -- you need to set the environment variable <code>msys_no_pathconv</code> temporarily, like so:
<code>msys_no_pathconv=1 git blame -l/pathconv/ msys2_path_conv.cc</code>
alternatively, you can double the first slash to avoid posix-to-windows path conversion.
git for windows will not allow commits containing dos-style truncated 8.3-format filenames ending with a tilde and digit, such as <code>mydocu~1.txt</code>. a workaround is to call <code>git config core.protectntfs false</code>,
which is not advised. instead, add a rule to .gitignore to ignore the file(s), or rename the file(s).
many windows programs (including the windows explorer) have problems with directory trees nested so deeply that the absolute path is longer than 260 characters. therefore, git for windows refuses to check out such files by default.
you can overrule this default by setting<code>core.longpaths</code>, e.g. <code>git clone -c core.longpaths=true ...</code>.
some commands are not yet supported on windows and excluded from the installation.
as git for windows is shipped without python support, all git commands requiring python are not yet supported; e.g. <code>git p4</code>.
the quick launch icon will only be installed for the user running setup (typically the administrator). this is a technical restriction and will not change.

comes with git 2.4.0
git for windows now installs its configuration into a windows-wide location:<code>%programdata%\git\config</code> (which will be shared by libgit2-based applications with the next libgit2 version)

tab completion works like on linux and macosx (double-tab required to show ambiguous completions)
in 32-bit setups, all the msys2 <code>.dll</code>'s address ranges are adjusted ("auto-rebased") as part of the installation process
the post-install scripts of msys2 are now executed as part of the installation process, too
all files that are part of the installation will now be registered so they are deleted upon uninstall

the home directory can be overridden using the <code>$home</code> environment variable again
comes with git 2.3.6
fixed encoding issues in git bash and keept the tmp environment variable intact.
a couple of fixes to the windows-specific git wrapper
git wrapper now refuses to use <code>$homedrive$homepath</code> if it points to a non-existing directory (this can happen if it points to a network drive that just so happens to be disconnected right now).

thanks to thorvald natvig, git on windows can simulate symbolic links by using reparse points when available. for technical reasons, this only works for symbolic links pointing to files, not directories.
a lot of work has been put into making it possible to compile git's source code (the part written in c, of course, not the scripts) with microsoft visual studio. this work is ongoing.

thanks to sebastian schuberth, the installer has a nicer icon now.

portable git contains a <code>readme.portable</code>.
portable git now actually includes the builtins.

<code>gitk</code> tries not to crash when it is closed while reading references (issue 125, thanks pat thoyts).
in some setups, hard-linking is not as reliable as it should be, so we have a workaround which avoids hard links in some situations (issues 222 and 229).
<code>git-svn</code> sets <code>core.autocrlf</code> to <code>false</code> now, hopefully shutting up most of the <code>git-svn</code> reports.
comes with official git 1.6.2.2.
upgraded tcl/tk to 8.5.5.
tortoisemerge is supported by mergetool now.
uses pthreads (faster garbage collection on multi-core machines).
the test suite passes!
renaming was made more robust (due to explorer or some virus scanners, files could not be renamed at the first try, so we have to try multiple times).
johannes sixt made lots of changes to the test-suite to identify properly which tests should pass, and which ones cannot pass due to limitations of the platform.
support <code>pager</code>s with spaces in their filename.
quite a few changes were undone which we needed in the olden days of msysgit.
fall back to <code>/</code> when home cannot be set to the real home directory due to locale issues (works around issue 108 for the moment).
comes with official git 1.6.2.1.
a portable application is shipped in addition to the installer (issue 195).

assorted fixes to support the new <code>libexec/git-core/</code> layout better.
read-only files can be properly replaced now.
<code>git-svn</code> is included again (original caveats still apply).
obsolete programs from previous installations are cleaned up.
comes with official git 1.6.1.

installer remembers how to handle path.
ssh works again.

git correctly passes port numbers to putty's plink
comes with official git 1.5.5.
<code>core.autocrlf</code> is enabled (<code>true</code>) by default. this means git converts to windows line endings (crlf) during checkout and converts to unix line endings (lf) during commit. this is the right choice for cross-platform
projects. if the conversion is not reversible, git warns the user. the installer warns about the new default before the installation starts.
the user does no longer have to "accept" the gpl but only needs to press "continue".
installer deletes shell scripts that have been replaced by builtins. upgrading should be safer.
supports <code>git svn</code>. note that the performance might be below your expectation.
newer ssh fixes connection failures (issue 74).
