[ANNOUNCE] Git for Windows 2.27.0

[Johannes Schindelin]

Dear Git users,

I hereby announce that Git for Windows 2.27.0 is available from:

    https://gitforwindows.org/

Changes since Git for Windows v2.26.2 (April 20th 2020)

Due to a bug when handling symbolic links that was fixed in this
version, git status will show symbolic links as modified even as git
diff won't report any changes. The quickest work-around is to call git
add -u which lets Git realize that nothing changed, actually.

This release comes with a Git Bash that optionally uses Windows-native
pseudo consoles. Meaning: finally, Git Bash can accommodate console
programs like node.exe, Python or PHP, without using the winpty helper
(see Known Issues above). Note that this is still a very new feature
and is therefore known to have some corner-case bugs.

New Features

  * Comes with Git v2.27.0.
  * Comes with OpenSSL v1.1.1g.
  * Comes with cURL v7.70.0.
  * Comes with subversion v1.13.0.
  * Comes with MSYS2 runtime (Git for Windows flavor) based on Cygwin
    3.1.4.
  * The release notes have been made a bit more readable and are now
    linked from the Start Menu group.
  * The Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) are now linked in a Start Menu
    item.
  * Comes with Git LFS v2.11.0.
  * Comes with OpenSSH v8.3p1.

Bug Fixes

  * Some Perl packages (e.g. Net::SSLeay) that had been broken recently
    have been fixed.
  * Git for Windows and WSL Git now have the same idea of symbolic
    links' length, i.e. git status will no longer mark them as modified
    in Git for Windows after checking them out in WSL.
