Git for Windows 1.9.5.msysgit.1

[Thomas Braun]

Hi,

the Git for Windows team just released the first maintenance release of
the Windows-specific installers for git 1.9.5.

It can be downloaded from the usual place [1] and I also attached some
(although non-gpg-signed) SHA sums [2].

New Features
- Comes with Git 1.9.5 plus Windows-specific patches.
- Make vimdiff usable with git mergetool.

Security Updates
- Mingw-openssl to 0.9.8zf and msys-openssl to 1.0.1m
- Bash to 3.1.23(6)
- Curl to 7.41.0

Bugfixes
- ssh-agent: only ask for password if not already loaded
- Reenable perl debugging ("perl -de 1" possible again)
- Set icon background color for Windows 8 tiles
- poll: honor the timeout on Win32
- For git.exe alone, use the same HOME directory fallback mechanism as
/etc/profile

Have phun,
Thomas

is it expected that there is no corresponding release on
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases ?
