[ANNOUNCE] Prerelease: Git for Windows v2.11.0-rc0

[ANNOUNCE] Prerelease: Git for Windows v2.11.0-rc0

[Johannes Schindelin]

Dear Git users,

I finally got around to rebase the Windows-specific patches (which seem to
not make it upstream as fast as we get new ones) on top of upstream Git
v2.11.0-rc0, and to bundle installers, portable Git and MinGit [*1*]:

https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/tag/v2.11.0-rc0.windows.1

It would be really nice if those of you who have access to Windows [*2*]
could try it out and report bugs before v2.11.0 final.

Thanks,
Johannes

I tested a new feature in 2.11 on Windows today and it failed. After some 
confusion I realized that the feature is not on your 2.11 branch. Consider this:

My last patch on your 2.11 branch is 
"pack-protocol: fix maximum pkt-line size" (7841c4):
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/commits/v2.11.0-rc0.windows.1?author=larsxschneider

My last patch on the Git 2.11 branch is 
"read-cache: make sure file handles are not inherited by child processes" (a0a6cb):
https://github.com/git/git/commits/v2.11.0-rc0?author=larsxschneider

Do you have a clue what is going on?

Thanks,
Lars

Oops. That must have been a major snafu on my side, very sorry for that.

I just tagged v2.11.0-rc0.windows.2 in https://github.com/dscho/git and
will make a new prerelease tomorrow.

My apologies!

No worries! I am looking forward to the new release!

For some reason my own build of Git for Windows cannot use HTTPS properly.
I need to debug this further at some point.

Thanks,
Lars

I tried that version on 64bit Win7.
Somehow the PATH env. variable does no longer get set correctly.

On git-for-windows 2.10.2 my PATH (inside git bash) contains ~75 Entries.
With the above installer I only get ~17 !
(Inside cmd.exe I get 61 entries. I set some more entries with by ~/.bashrc)

It seems that all entries that contain a path with whitespace (e.g. 'c:\program files (x86)' )
are no longer there.

Any ideas ?

Thanks,
  Stefan

You are absolutely correct. There was a change in MSYS2 that I missed: by
default, it re-sets the PATH to be minimal now. This is obviously not what
we want.

I worked around this in the usual way [*1*].

Thank you so much for testing. It would have been really awful if Git for
Windows v2.11.0 would have shipped with this bug.

Unfortunately I have to re-build and re-package the installers I promised
to upload today; Hopefully I will get around to upload the fixed ones
soon.

Will keep you posted,
Dscho

That version brings all my PATH entries back!

Tanks a lot!
