What version of msysgit to download?

I have abandoned the cygwin version of Git , and now I would like to install msysgit .

The problem is that they are all previews .

I need git for production. Is there a stable release there?

To complicate things even further, I worked (checking and deleting) using Git version 1.7.5.1 on cygwin ... Did this change the answer?

It also seems to me frustrating that mysisgit only lists preview versions. Nevertheless, I have been working on them for almost 2 years and do not see any negative consequences. I would just download the latest preview and go with that.

The reason for the "preview" is the msysGit repository in the HowToRelease.txt file.

I think msysGit is approaching the criteria suggested by:

 A setup executable is named as follows - it starts with Git; - followed by the official git version if the release is closely related to a specific version of official git; - followed by * preview<date>, for snapshot builds. * winrc#, if we reach a certain quality level and plan to release a stable version. If no bugs are found, this can be upgraded to a stable release. We use winrc instead of simply rc to avoid confusion with official release candidates. The prefix "win" clearly indicates that the tag is about the Windows release.

Given the overall quality and stability of msysGit, there may be an alternative that better reflects this feeling in the msysGit list msysgit@googlegroups.com
