[ANNOUNCE] Git for Windows 2.16.0(2)

[Johannes Schindelin]

Dear Git users,

It is my pleasure to announce that Git for Windows 2.16.0(2) is available from:

	https://git-for-windows.github.io/

Changes since Git for Windows v2.15.1(2) (November 30th 2017)

Git for Windows now has a new homepage: https://gitforwindows.org/ (it
is still graciously hosted by GitHub, but now much quicker to type).

New Features

  * Comes with Git Credential Manager v1.14.0.
  * The Git for Windows installer now offers to configure Visual Studio
    Code as default editor for Git.
  * Comes with OpenSSL v1.0.2n.
  * git checkout is now a lot faster when checking out a lot of files.
  * The core.excludesfile can now reference a symbolic link.
  * Comes with patch level 7 of the MSYS2 runtime (Git for Windows
    flavor) based on Cygwin 2.9.0.
  * With lots of files, git reset --hard is now a lot faster when the
    FSCache feature is in effect.

Bug Fixes

  * When cloning into an existing (empty) directory fails, Git no
    longer removes said directory.
  * Interrupting processes (and their children) using Control+C is now
    a lot more robust.
