fixup! mingw: allow hooks to be .exe files

Prerelease of HEAD

Git for Windows v2.11.0(3)

Changes since Git for Windows v2.11.0(2) (January 13th 2017)

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an off-by-two bug in the POSIX emulation layer that possibly
    affected third-party Perl scripts that load native libraries
    dynamically.
  • A regression in rebase -i, introduced into v2.11.0(2), which caused
    commit attribution to be mishandled after resolving conflicts, was
    fixed.

Git for Windows v2.11.0(2)

Changes since Git for Windows v2.11.0 (December 1st 2016)

New Features

  * Reading a large index has been speeded up using pthreads.
  * The checkout operation was speeded up for the common cases.
  * The status operation was made faster in large worktrees with many
    changes.
  * The diff operation saw performance improvements when working on a
    huge number of renamed files.
  * PuTTY's plink.exe can now be used in GIT_SSH_COMMAND without
    jumping through hoops, too.
  * The MSYS2 runtime was synchronized with Cygwin 2.6.1.

Bug Fixes

  * Non-ASCII characters are now shown properly again in Git Bash.
  * Implicit NTLM authentication works again when accessing a remote
    repository via HTTP/HTTPS without having to specify empty user name
    and password.
  * Our poll() emulation now uses 64-bit tick counts to avoid the (very
    rare) wraparound issue where it could miscalculate time differences
    every 49 days.
  * The --no-lock-index option of git status is now also respected also
    in submodules.
  * The regression of v2.11.0 where Git could no longer push to shared
    folders via UNC paths is fixed.
  * A bug in the MSYS2 runtime where it performed POSIX->Windows
    argument conversion incorrectly was fixed.
  * The MSYS2 runtime was prepared to access the FAST_CWD internal data
    structure in upcoming Windows versions.
  * Fixed a bug in the experimental builtin difftool where it would not
    handle copied/renamed files properly.

This is a MinGit-only preview to help testing experimental features

In particular, the GIT_REDIRECT_STD* feature that allows redirecting the
standard handles to, say, named pipes, is a feature that should benefit
from wider testing before entering Git for Windows proper (but still as an
experimental feature).

Git for Windows v2.11.0

Changes since Git for Windows v2.10.2 (November 2nd 2016)

New Features

  * Comes with Git v2.11.0.
  * Performance of git add in large worktrees was improved.
  * A new, experimental, builtin version of the difftool is available
    as an opt-in feature.
  * Support has been added to generate project files for Visual Studio
    2010 and later.

Bug Fixes

  * The preload-index feature now behaves much better in conjunction
    with sparse checkouts.
  * When encountering a symbolic link, Git now always tries to read it,
    not only when core.symlinks = true.
  * The regression where Git would not interpret non-ASCII characters
    passed from a CMD window correctly has been fixed.
  * Performance of the cache of case-insensitive file names has been
    improved.
  * When building with MS Visual C, release builds are now properly
    optimized.
  * git cvsexportcommit now also works with CVSNT.
  * Git's Perl no longer gets confused by externally-set PERL5LIB.
  * The uninstaller no longer leaves an empty Git\mingw64 folder behind
    .
  * The installer now actually records whether the user chose to enable
    or disable the Git Credential Manager.
  * A certain scenario that could cause a crash in cherry-pick no
    longer causes that.
