Thank you, contributors! Changes since Git for Windows 2.5.3 (September 18th 2015) New Features =E2=80=A2 Comes with Git 2.6.0 =E2=80=A2 The WhoUses.exe tool to determine which process holds a loc= k on a given file (which was shipped with Git for Windows 1.x) gets installed alongside Git for Windows again. =E2=80=A2 The values CurrentVersion, InstallPath and LibexecPath are = added to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\GitForWindows registry key to help third-party add-ons to find us. =E2=80=A2 When fetching or pushing with Git without a console, we now= fall back to Git GUI's askpass helper to ask for pass phrases. =E2=80=A2 When run through \cmd\git.exe, Git will find = tools in $HOME/bin now. Bug Fixes =E2=80=A2 The portable version avoids DLL search path problems even w= hen installed into a FAT filesystem. =E2=80=A2 Configuring notepad as editor without configuring a width f= or commit messages no longer triggers an error message. =E2=80=A2 When using Windows' default console for Git Bash, the .sh f= ile associations work again. =E2=80=A2 Portable Git's README is now clearer about the need to run post-install.bat when unpacking manually. =E2=80=A2 We use the winpty trick now to run ipython interactively, t= oo. =E2=80=A2 When the environment variable HOME is not set, we now fall = back correctly to use HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH. =E2=80=A2 The home directory is now set correctly when running as the= SYSTEM user. =E2=80=A2 The environment variable GIT_WORK_TREE may now differ in lo= wer/ upper case with the Git's idea of the current working directory. =E2=80=A2 Running git clone --dissociate ... no longer locks the pack= files during the repacking phase. =E2=80=A2 Upstream cURL fixes for NTLM proxy issues ("Unknown SSL err= or") were backported. Ciao, Johannes
