mingw-w64-git: upgrade to Git for Windows 2.55.0.2#30282
Merged
Conversation
This was already done as part of b08d188 (mingw-w64-git: upgrade to Git for Windows 2.55.0 (msys2#30227), 2026-06-29), but was inadvertently reverted in the parent commit because I had forgotten to merge #207 in the hectic release process before building the artifacts of Git for Windows v2.55.0(2).

You probably know, but curl will drop NTLM completely in September. edit: ah, mentioned in the changelog, never mind |

Heh, that's exactly how I characterized it internally: an unintentional brown-out ;-) |

This PR synchronizes the
mingw-w64-gitpackage definition from Git for Windows.See https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/tag/v2.55.0.windows.2 for the release notes.
Important
Git for Windows v2.55.0(2) was released very quickly after v2.55.0 for one reason, and one reason only: to re-enable (opt-in) NTLM support. This was done by re-building
mingw-w64-curlwith--enable-ntlm, as cURL v8.21.0 builds without NTLM support altogether by default. That re-build only lives in Git for Windows' Pacman repository, though, and MSYS2's variant ofmingw-w64-curlno longer supports NTLM, period. Therefore, even with this here PR, regular MSYS2'sgit.exewill no longer allow NTLM authentication, with or without thehttp.allowNTLMAuthflag set.This branch was pushed by https://github.com/git-for-windows/git-for-windows-automation/actions/runs/28594311252 (with a fixup cherry-picked from git-for-windows#207 because I had forgotten to merge it before kicking off the workflow run that generated that branch).
