[ANNOUNCE] Git for Windows 2.27.0-rc1

[Johannes Schindelin]

Dear Git users,

I hereby announce that Git for Windows 2.27.0-rc1 is available from:

    https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/tag/v2.27.0-rc1.windows.1

Changes since Git for Windows v2.26.2 (April 20th 2020)

This release comes with a Git Bash that optionally uses Windows-native
pseudo consoles. Meaning: finally, Git Bash can accommodate console
programs like node.exe, Python or PHP, without using the winpty helper
(see Known Issues above). Note that this is still a very new feature
and is therefore known to have some corner-case bugs.

New Features

  * Comes with Git v2.27.0-rc1.
  * Comes with OpenSSL v1.1.1g.
  * Comes with cURL v7.70.0.
  * Comes with subversion v1.13.0.
  * Comes with MSYS2 runtime (Git for Windows flavor) based on Cygwin
    3.1.4.
  * The release notes have been made a bit more readable and are now
    linked from the Start Menu group.
  * The Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) are now linked in a Start Menu
    item.
  * Comes with Git LFS v2.11.0.

Bug Fixes

  * Some Perl packages (e.g. Net::SSLeay) that had been broken recently
    have been fixed.
