There has been a slow but steady stream of bug reports triggered by the warning included in ac33519ddfa818f420b4ef5a09b4a7b3ac8adeb8. Since introducing the escape hatch for Windows 7 in that same patch, however, I have not seen a single report that pointed to the kind of bug I anticipated when writing that warning message. Let's drop this warning, as well as the escape hatch: Git for Windows dropped supporting Windows 7 (and Windows 8) directly after Git for Windows v2.46.2. For full details, see https://gitforwindows.org/requirements#windows-version. For good measure, let's keep the fall-back, though: It sometimes helps work around issues (e.g. when Defender still holds a handle on a file that Git wants to write out).
