This version adds support for Windows ARM64 architecture, which is now built alongside the existing x86 and x64 variants. The PKGBUILD now uses a case statement to detect the target architecture via MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX and selects the appropriate binary artifact (gcm-win-x86, gcm-win-x64, or gcm-win-arm64) along with its checksum. This ensures that ARM64 packages contain native ARM64 binaries instead of x86 binaries.

This is a follow-up to the change I made when updating GCM to v2.7.0 in git-for-windows/build-extra#670 where I updated PKGBUILD to use the architecture-specific GCM artifacts, in particular the ARM64 one introduced in Git Credential Manager v2.7.0. The PKGBUILD now downloads architecture-specific binaries (x86, x64, and arm64) rather than using x86 binaries for all platforms. This requires a new checksum update script that automatically fetches and updates the SHA256 checksums for all three architectures when updating to a new version. In addition, elsewhere a comment has been updated to reflect that we now download architecture-specific artifacts rather than just x86.

/add relnote feature Comes with Git Credential Manager v2.7.0, the "anniversary release" after one release-less year, which brings native x64 and ARM64 binaries for the respective flavors of Git for Windows. |
