Description

@Stanzilla

Where is the 1.9.5 release on this project? I can only find the installer at https://msysgit.github.io/

What about the portable release?

    Assuming that you expected a link to the portable release on https://msysgit.github.io/, I respectfully suggest to clone https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit.github.com/, make the necessary changes, test, and then open a Pull Request.

    Thanks for the link. So I guess the real bug is that on https://msysgit.github.io/ the "Repository" link points to https://github.com/msysgit/git which does not have the release, no?

    So it is a bug when not even a full hour after the upload of a new security bug-fix release not all the source is available?

    No, I understood it that way that we're supposed to check https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/releases/ instead of https://github.com/msysgit/git/releases

    To be honest, the whole Git for/on Windows situation is not really transparent.

    @Stanzilla we were intentionally secretive about this security bug, to allow all of the various Git implementations to move in unison. I am proud that you detected how hard we worked on protecting the users.

    Now that you know just how much was done for you, you might want to step up your efforts to contribute back something of value to this project.

    Okay, such a negative statement should really be backed up by some positive action, to balance out empathy-wise. You really should help the situation e.g. by writing a FAQ entry, and/or by enhancing the home page with a link to documentation of this project's governance. Any information you need to do that, please just ask away!

    I'm baffled about the amount of arrogance someone can fit into so few posts so I'm going to pass on that, sorry.

    @Stanzilla and I am baffled about the arrogance of somebody demanding others to put in effort and then just leaving in a poof.

    I guess that leaves two people baffled, one who worked a lot and then another one. I don't know who's more arrogant.

    I only asked questions, never demanded anything in here. Also you still didn't answer my question if the page is only linking to the wrong repository and should be updated (I would do that, even already forked the repo) or not.
