This release updates MacOS universal binaries to dynamically link to the version of libcurl installed on the system, rather than from a Homebrew installation.

What's Changed

• jeffhostetler/native-curl by @jeffhostetler in #636

Full Changelog: v2.44.0.vfs.0.1...v2.44.0.vfs.0.2

This is a candidate prerelease for v2.44.0.vfs.0.2.

The only change is in how we dynamically link to libcurl. This version links to the OS-supplied libraries. The previous release linked to a Homebrew library on ARM64 that may not be present on some users machines.

Full Changelog: v2.44.0.vfs.0.1...v2.44.0.vfs.0.2.rc0

NOTE: the MacOS universal binary relies on Homebrew libcurl. If you do not have libcurl installed via Homebrew, do not install this version.

This version fixes a bug that triggered occasional crashes in git sparse-checkout commands like set, reapply, etc. The issue arose in the v2.41.0.vfs.0.X releases, the most recent full release being v2.41.0.vfs.0.5. If you are currently using any of those versions, it is recommended that you upgrade to avoid the error.

• #607: Fix sparse-checkout set crashes

This version addresses problems when running Git Bash (or paged Git commands like git log) on a domain-joined machine that has no, or slow, connection to the domain controller.

It also fixes a problem where installing Git inside the user profile causes problems with git fetch/git push when the user profile's path contains non-ASCII characters.

This version fixes the bug in git index-pack that was causing issues with VFS for Git enlistments. Other than that fix, the release is the same as v2.42.0.vfs.0.0.

This release of microsoft/git includes all changes from upstream Git v2.42.0, Git for Windows v2.42.0.windows.1, and microsoft/git v2.41.0.vfs.0.5.

This release of microsoft/git includes all changes from Git for Windows v2.41.0.windows.3 and microsoft/git v2.41.0.vfs.0.3.

This version includes fixes to:

1. simplify progress output during prefetch where git index-pack and gvfs-helper could both display progress.
2. schedule background maintenance on a random minute rather than at the top of the hour to diffuse load on the GVFS Cache Servers.
3. prevent maintenance background tasks from trying to raise a credential prompt and block the task.

This version also updates Git Credential Manager to v2.3.2.
