Git for Windows v2.47.0.windows.1

[gitforwindowshelper[bot]]

Changes since Git for Windows v2.46.2 (September 24th 2024)

Git for Windows for Windows v2.47 drops support for Windows 7 and for Windows 8, as announced previously.

Please also note that the 32-bit variant of Git for Windows is deprecated; Its last official release is planned for 2025.

New Features

• Comes with Git v2.47.0.
• Comes with the MSYS2 runtime (Git for Windows flavor) based on Cygwin v3.5.4, which drops Windows 7 and Windows 8 support.
• The new, experimental git backfill command was added: It helps fetching relevant Git objects smartly in a partial, sparse clone.
• The new, experimental git survey command was added. This command is designed to help identify less-than-ideal data shape in monorepos, and it will likely see highly active development. Stay tuned!
• Comes with Git Credential Manager v2.6.0.

This discussion was created from the release Git for Windows v2.47.0.windows.1.

Important

Please note that this version has two known regressions:

• Fetching/pushing via SSH experiences frequent dead locks.
• Repacking in repositories with many tags became a lot slower.

Both regressions have been fixed in the most recent snapshot.

In anticipation for more bug fixes in the upstream Git project, and therefore a potential Git v2.47.1, I want to hold off from releasing a new Git for Windows version. Besides, I try not to release two Git for Windows versions within the same week, to avoid upgrade fatigue.

I released Git for Windows v2.47.0(2) yesterday.
