Hi folks,

I've noticed that Git for Windows 2.47.1 no longer supports parsing "_netrc" for credentials. If I downgrade back to 2.47.0, _netrc parsing is restored.

I could switch to naming the file ".netrc", but unfortunately, git-lfs only supports _netrc (on Windows).

Is anyone else seeing this apparent regression? I've looked through the commit history of Git and curl but have not been able to identify an obvious culprit.

Thanks,
Brad

Thank you for looping back!

Ciao,

P.S.: Unfortunately the holiday timing of your mail let me miss it in the
moderation queue before it was dropped, sorry about that!

Any plans to release 2.48.1? I believe it includes the above-mentioned curl fix.

Thanks,
Brad
