  • wiki: rename git-extra to mingw-w64-git-extra In a recent commit, we started publishing the mingw-w64-git-extra package in addition to git-extra. We intend to completely remove the old git-extra package over time, but let's start using the new mingw-w64-git-extra prefix now. More background on this change can be found in the attached commit.

  • Use the preferred spelling of the MSYS2 project While it does not make sense to pretend that the project name is a four-letter acronym (it really stands for "Minimal System"), it is definitely not worth an issue to fight over. We have much bigger fish to fry. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <[email protected]>
