Is Git 1.9.2 (latest binary release for Windows) actually Git 2.x? By definition, shouldn't 1.9 do matching rather than simple?

Downvoter, please comment on what you think I did wrong here? You clearly have been here long enough to get downvoting privileges but I guess you failed to learn proper etiquette? Maybe they ought to consider raising the bar to something like 1000 points instead of 500?

Ah yeah, my phrasing was poor on that. 2.0 has yet to see a stable release, but they started warning about the default setting changing a while back.
