Dear Git users,

I hereby announce that Git for Windows 2.26.2 is available from:

https://gitforwindows.org/

Changes since Git for Windows v2.26.1 (April 9th 2020)

Yet another security fix release: With a crafted URL that contains a
newline or empty host, or lacks a scheme, the credential helper
machinery can be fooled into providing credential information that is
not appropriate for the protocol in use and host being contacted
(CVE-2020-11008).

New Features

* Comes with Git v2.26.2.
* Comes with tig v2.5.1.
* Worktree updates (e.g. git checkout, git reset --hard) got a
performance boost in sparse checkouts.

Bug Fixes

* A recent regression in gitk that prevented it from running in bare
repositories has been fixed.

Not a bug, per se. What is "busybox" in the releases?


Thank you...

Hi Michael,

BusyBox is a minimal implementation of a Unix shell and some other Unix
tools. The BusyBox edition of MinGit uses a Win32 port of BusyBox instead
of the MSYS2 Bash and other MSYS2 utilities (like `sed`, `awk`, `ls`,
etc).

Ciao,
Johannes
