[ANNOUNCE] Git for Windows 2.51.1 (security release)

[Johannes Schindelin]

Dear Git users,

Apologies for a Friday release, but this is important: Git for Windows v2.51.1
addresses CVE-2025-26625, rated High severity (8.6/10). Please avoid cloning or
pulling repositories before upgrading to this release! You can download it
here:

Changes since Git for Windows v2.51.0(2) (September 29th 2025)

This is a security release! Git LFS (which is enabled by default in Git
for Windows) fixes CVE-2025-26625 (Severity rated High, 8.6 / 10) in
v3.7.1. Please only clone or pull from repositories you trust until you
upgraded.

Due to persistent maintenance challenges and the community's limited
engagement and usage, git svn support in Git for Windows will be
dropped from the next major Git for Windows release.

Note that git flow is no longer shipped with Git for Windows, after a
version had been distributed that had been languishing for years. Even
the original, years-stale Git Flow project has been archived.

New Features

* Comes with Git v2.51.1.
* Comes with Git LFS v3.7.1, addressing CVE-2025-26625.
* Comes with OpenSSL v3.5.4.
* Comes with the MSYS2 runtime (Git for Windows flavor) based on
Cygwin v3.6.5.
* Comes with OpenSSH v10.2.P1.
* Drops git flow.

Bug Fixes

* A potential memory corruption in the optional wincred credential
helper was fixed.
