Changes since Git for Windows v2.10.1(2) (October 13th 2016)

Git for windows v2.10.1(2) was a MinGit-only release (i.e. there was no Git for windows installer for that version).

Comes with Git Credential Manager v1.8.1.
Comes with cURL v7.51.0.
Git for Windows can now be built easily with Visual C++ 2015.

A new option asks the installer to skip installation if Git's files are in use.
A new option asks the installer to quietly skip downgrading Git for Windows, without indicating failure.
There is now an explicit option for symbolic link support, including a link to a more verbose explanation of the issue.

when upgrading Git for Windows, SSH agent processes are now auto-terminated.
When trying to install/upgrade on a Windows version that is no longer supported, we now refuse to do so.
