Git for Windows 1.8.5.2 (preview)

[Johannes Schindelin]

Dear fans of Git,

this mail brings to you the good news that Git for Windows is available in
a new version: 1.8.5.2-preview20131230

Many, many thanks go to the tireless developers working on this
particularly hard port of Git.

Changes since Git-1.8.4-preview20130916

New Features

- Comes with Git 1.8.5.2 plus Windows-specific patches.

- Windows-specific patches are now grouped into pseudo-branches which
should make future development more robust despite the fact that we have
had less than stellar success getting the Windows-specific patches accepted
by upstream git.git.

- Works around more path length limitations (pull request #86)

- Has an optional stat() cache toggled via core.fscache (pull request #107)

Bugfixes

- Lots of installer fixes

- git-cmd: Handle home directory on a different drive correctly (pull
request #146)

- git-cmd: add a helper to work with the ssh agent (pull request #135)

- Git-Cheetah: prevent duplicate menu entries (pull request #7)

- No longer replaces dos2unix with hd2u (a more powerful, but slightly
incompatible version of dos2unix)

In keeping with the fine tradition of making a release on the eve of a
holiday, and immediately going on vacation, it is my pleasure to wish you
all a happy new year,
Johannes

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!
