  • Replace all page contents with links to the new location This trick was performed via: git ls-files \*.md | while read f do pr_url=https://github.com/git-for-windows/git-for-windows.github.io/pull/59 url=https://gitforwindows.org/${f%.md} echo "This wiki page [has been migrated]($pr_url) to a new location: [$url]($url)" >"$f" done There are two pages where this does not make sense, `0.-Index` and `_Footer`, which will be handled in the next commit.

  • Revert "Updated Git cannot create a file or directory with a long path (markdown)" Contrary to the claim made in this commit, the registry setting is not required for Git for Windows' long paths support to work. This reverts commit 6bd107b1242880f1a49d3464e969de4e15de9c7b. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <[email protected]>

  • Revert "Updated Git cannot create a file or directory with a long path (markdown)" This commit claimed that `cmd.exe` can work with long paths, but that is only the case when editing the registry, in ways that most users will never learn about. So let's avoid claiming that it works. This reverts commit 5a5d8d0ab281004b0f806a3d7574ae6f3488c50f. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <[email protected]>
