Git for Windows v2.49.0-rc0.windows.1

[gitforwindowshelper[bot]]

Changes since Git for Windows v2.48.1 (February 13th 2025)

Due to persistent maintenance challenges and the community's limited engagement and usage, git svn support in Git for Windows will be phased out over the next few months.

Git for Windows v2.48.1 was the last version to ship with the i686 ("32-bit") variant of the installer, portable Git and archive. Only 32-bit MinGit will be built for future versions, until April 2029.

New Features

• Comes with Git v2.49.0-rc0.
• Comes with OpenSSH v9.9.P2.
• Comes with PCRE2 v10.45.
• The previously-experimental --full-name-hash option has been accepted into upstream Git as --name-hash-version=2 and is no longer experimental.
• The git backfill command has been accepted into upstream Git; Its --batch-size=<n> option has been renamed to --min-batch-size=<n>, though.

Bug Fixes

• A change in upstream Git v2.48.0 broke renaming symlinks, which was fixed.
