[ANNOUNCE] Git for Windows 2.17.1(2)

[Johannes Schindelin]

Dear Git users,

It is my pleasure to announce that Git for Windows 2.17.1(2) is available from:

	https://gitforwindows.org/

Changes since Git for Windows v2.17.0 (April 3rd 2018)

New Features

  * Comes with Git v2.17.1.
  * Comes with Perl v5.26.2.
  * The installer now offers VS Code Insiders as option for Git's
    default editor if it is installed.
  * The vim configuration was modernized.
  * Certain errors, e.g. when pushing failed due to a
    non-fast-forwarding change, are now colorful.
  * Comes with cURL v7.60.0.
  * Comes with Git Credential Manager v1.16.1.
  * Comes with Git LFS v2.4.2.

Bug Fixes

  * Fixed an issue with recursive clone (CVE 2018-11235).
  * This release really contains Git v2.17.1 (due to a bug in the release
    automation, Git for Windows v2.17.1 did not actually include Git v2.17.1).
  * Aliases that expand to shell commands can now take arguments
    containing curly brackets.
  * Ctrl+C is now handled in Git Bash in a sophisticated way: it
    emulates the way Ctrl+C is handled in Git CMD, but in a
    fine-grained way.
  * Based on the the new Ctrl+C handling in Git Bash, pressing Ctrl+C
    while git log is running will only stop Git from traversing the
    commit history, but keep the pager running.
  * Git was fixed to work correctly in Docker volumes inside Windows
    containers.
  * Tab completion of git status -- <partial-path> is now a lot faster.
  * Git for Windows now creates directory symlinks correctly when asked
    to.
  * The option to disable revocation checks with Secure Channel which
    was introduced in v2.16.1(2) now really works.
  * Git no longer enters an infinite loop when misspelling git status
    as, say, git Status.'
