Note the existence of "Git for Windows"[1] specific mailing list > as well, where this issue might belong better. > > [1] git-for-windows@googlegroups.com I think a much better place is the Git for Windows bug tracker (if you ever wonder where the bug tracker is, or the home page, or the repository or the FAQ, there are links in the upper left of the release notes -- which probably nobody reads, even if I really try to make them worth the while -- and which you can find in C:\Program Files\Git\ReleaseNotes.html if you closed the tab after installing Git for Windows). And indeed, there is already a ticket for this issue: https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/1074 The original reporter did not respond to any questions, maybe you can do better, Phil?
