Hi All,

It would seem that the released binaries do not match the tag in github.

For example core.fscache is not listed in the documentation shipped with 
msysGit-fullinstall-1.8.5.2-preview20131230.exe.
Another is git-1.8.5.2.msysgit.0\Documentation\technical\api-hashmap.txt 
missing as well.

Was this intentional?

Thank you for all your hard work!
