[ANNOUNCE] Git for Windows 2.15.1(2), was Re:Git for Windows 2.15.1

Hi all,

unfortunately, a last-minute bug slipped in: MSYS2 updated vim (including
its defaults.vim, in a way that interacted badly with Git for Windows'
configuration). The result was that an ugly warning is shown every time a
user opens vim (which is still the default editor of Git for Windows, for
historical reasons).

Git for Windows v2.15.1(2) fixes just this one bug, and can be downloaded
here:

Ciao,

Changes since Git for Windows v2.15.0 (October 30th 2017)

New Features

  * Comes with Git v2.15.1.
  * Operations in massively-sparse worktrees are now much faster if
    core.fscache = true.
  * It is now possible to configure nano or Notepad++ as Git's default
    editor instead of vim.
  * Comes with OpenSSL v1.0.2m.
  * Git for Windows' updater now uses non-intrusive toast notifications
    on Windows 8, 8.1 and 10.
  * Running git fetch in a repository with lots of refs is now
    considerably faster.
  * Comes with cURL v7.57.0.

Bug Fixes

  * The experimental --show-ignored-directory option of git status
    which was removed in Git for Windows v2.15.0 without warning has
    been reintroduced as a deprecated option.
  * The git update command (to auto-update Git for Windows) will now
    work also work behind proxies.
