Me again,

this mail was unfortunately a bit incomplete...

... here, the release notes should have appeared. So here goes:

Changes since Git for Windows v2.25.0 (January 13th 2020)

New Features

  * Comes with Git v2.25.1.
  * The Portable version of Git for Windows now defaults to turning on
    the FSCache just like the installer does.
  * Comes with Git LFS v2.10.0.
  * Portable Git can now be run from a RAM disk, too.
  * The deprecation of Git CMD has been reverted: the security issue
    (git show would execute a git executable or script in the current
    directory instead of the intended git.exe) was fixed already in
    v2.20.0.
  * Comes with OpenSSH v8.2p1.

Bug Fixes

  * Some corner-case bugs in the built-in git add -i were fixed.
  * The file name COM0 is no longer mistaken for a reserved file name.
  * The curl.exe included in Git for Windows can access SFTP/SSH hosts
    again.

The reason for these two glitches is the same as the reason for the delay
(Git v2.25.1 has been released almost four days ago, after all, and I try
to stay relatively close with Git for Windows releases): for technical
reasons, I had to move the automation that I use to publish new versions
of Git for Windows, and I used this excuse not only to make it public
(https://dev.azure.com/git-for-windows/git/_build?definitionId=34) but
also to modernize the pipeline as well as to split it into a build and a
release pipeline.

This required a lot of refactoring of the huge automation shell script
(https://github.com/git-for-windows/build-extra/blob/master/please.sh),
and every refactoring has some fallout. On the positive side, the new
pipelines should be more robust and a lot faster, too.

Here's hoping that future releases go smoother than this one :-)

Thanks,
Johannes

That's a good thing despite the minor fallout.

Thanks a lot for your relentless efforts to make Git-for-Windows better!

I haven't noticed you sign using your real name before that I had a mild 
suspicion if this was really you or one of your automaton's gone rogue 
;-) Just now realized that you sign all your Git-for-Windows release 
e-mails this way.
