Git for Windows v2.11.0(2)
Changes since Git for Windows v2.11.0 (December 1st 2016)
New Features
* Reading a large index has been speeded up using pthreads.
* The checkout operation was speeded up for the common cases.
* The status operation was made faster in large worktrees with many
changes.
* The diff operation saw performance improvements when working on a
huge number of renamed files.
* PuTTY's plink.exe can now be used in GIT_SSH_COMMAND without
jumping through hoops, too.
* The MSYS2 runtime was synchronized with Cygwin 2.6.1.
Bug Fixes
* Non-ASCII characters are now shown properly again in Git Bash.
* Implicit NTLM authentication works again when accessing a remote
repository via HTTP/HTTPS without having to specify empty user name
and password.
* Our poll() emulation now uses 64-bit tick counts to avoid the (very
rare) wraparound issue where it could miscalculate time differences
every 49 days.
* The --no-lock-index option of git status is now also respected also
in submodules.
* The regression of v2.11.0 where Git could no longer push to shared
folders via UNC paths is fixed.
* A bug in the MSYS2 runtime where it performed POSIX->Windows
argument conversion incorrectly was fixed.
* The MSYS2 runtime was prepared to access the FAST_CWD internal data
structure in upcoming Windows versions.
* Fixed a bug in the experimental builtin difftool where it would not
handle copied/renamed files properly.
