Git version 2.14.4 for z/OS is now available for download from Rocket Software, at:

 https://my.rocketsoftware.com/

This version supersedes the prior version, Git 2.3.5.

In addition to the platform-generic changes from the previous version, the following z/OS-specific changes have been made:

• The https protocol is now supported for access to remote repositories, in addition to the ssh protocol.

• The working-tree-encoding attribute has been replaced by a new attribute, zos-working-tree-encoding.

NOTE

It is vital that all users of the working-tree-encoding attribute migrate to the new zos-working-tree-encoding attribute as soon as possible. See the release notes notes (supplied with the download) regarding an incompatibility with git releases after 2.18 on other platforms.

Regarding the “zos-working-tree-encoding”…

I assume I could code “zos-working-tree-encoding” in repos using my current 2.3.5 version of Git together with “working-tree-encoding”. So when I switch to 2.14.4 the encoding would be seamless. I’d remove “working-tree-encoding” once 2.14.4 is accepted into production.
