Git for Windows 2.6.1

Changes since Git for Windows 2.6.1 (September 29th 2015)

New Features

• Comes with Git 2.6.1
• The installer now writes the file /etc/install-options.txt to record which options were chosen at install time.
• Replaces git flow with the AVH edition which is maintained actively, in surprising and disappointing contrast to Vincent Driessen's very own project.

Bug Fixes

• The PATH variable is now really left alone when choosing the "Use Git from Git Bash only" option in the installer. Note that upgrading Git for Windows will call the previous version's uninstaller, which might still have that bug.
• Git GUI's Registry>Create Desktop Icon now generates correct shortcuts.
• The antiword utility to render Word documents for use in git diff now works correctly.
• In 64-bit installations, we no longer set a pack size limit by default.
• When installing Git for Windows as regular user, the installer no longer comptries to create privileged registry keys.
