The corresponding Git for Windows v2.23.0-rc2 can be found here:
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/tag/v2.23.0-rc2.windows.1
Please test as much as you can.

> * The filter_data used in the list-objects-filter (which manages a
> lazily sparse clone repository) did not use the dynamic array API
> correctly---'nr' is supposed to point at one past the last element

>
> * The description about slashes in gitignore patterns (used to
> indicate things like "anchored to this level only" and "only
> matches directories") has been revamped.
>
> * The URL decoding code has been updated to avoid going past the end
> of the string while parsing %-<hex>-<hex> sequence.

> with '*' in front.
> (merge 6e9381469e nb/branch-show-other-worktrees-head later to maint).
>
> * Code restructuring during 2.20 period broke fetching tags via

>
> * The commit-graph file is now part of the "files that the runtime
> may keep open file descriptors on, all of which would need to be
> closed when done with the object store", and the file descriptor to
> an existing commit-graph file now is closed before "gc" finalizes a

> * "git checkout -p" needs to selectively apply a patch in reverse,

>
> * Code clean-up to avoid signed integer wraparounds during binary search.

> * "git interpret-trailers" always treated '#' as the comment

> corrected.
>
> * "git stash show 23" used to work, but no more after getting
> rewritten in C; this regression has been corrected.
>
> * "git rebase --abort" used to leave refs/rewritten/ when concluding
> "git rebase -r", which has been corrected.
>
> * An incorrect list of options was cached after command line
> completion failed (e.g. trying to complete a command that requires
> a repository outside one), which has been corrected.
>
> * The code to parse scaled numbers out of configuration files has

>
> * The codepath to compute delta islands used to spew progress output
> without giving the callers any way to squelch it, which has been
> fixed.
>
> * Protocol capabilities that go over wire should never be translated,
> but it was incorrectly marked for translation, which has been
> corrected. The output of protocol capabilities for debugging has
> been tweaked a bit.
>
> * Use "Erase in Line" CSI sequence that is already used in the editor
> support to clear cruft in the progress output.
>
> * "git submodule foreach" did not protect command line options passed

> "--recursive" option was in use.
>
> * The configuration variable rebase.rescheduleFailedExec should be

>
> * The "git clone" documentation refers to command line options in its

>
> * Generation of pack bitmaps are now disabled when .keep files exist,
> as these are mutually exclusive features.
> (merge 7328482253 ew/repack-with-bitmaps-by-default later to maint).

Hello : )
Will Tig also be updated?
Perhaps you can shine a light... What are the routines here, in general? Is latest Tig always packaged with new releases of Git for Windows? Is there some documentation, where this is already declared, to point me to?
Thanks,
z

Usually, Tig will be updated to the newest version as soon as I get
aware of any. IIRC the latest Tig update resulted in a compile problem,
though, so I don't know.
Maybe you can test for yourself by downloading and installing the Git
for Windows SDK from https://gitforwindows.org/#download-sdk and then
running `sdk cd build-extra && GPGKEY=1 ./please.sh upgrade tig`?
Ciao,
Johannes
