I'm afraid personal life has got in the way of me producing a more
up-to-date version of Git since the versions you've found. I'll
produce a new release when I get the chance, but I don't want to
commit to any particular dates at this point.

In the meantime, I'd suggest either not cloning untrusted repositories
while using the `--recurse-submodules` option (or, as general security
practice, not cloning untrusted repositories at all), or compiling Git
locally yourself.

As a general point, if people want to compile Git themselves, it's
normally straightforward, either using the upstream Git sources, or
using the Cygport packaging sources from
https://github.com/me-and/Cygwin-Git. I only haven't released it
myself because I have a higher bar for making sure the test suite
passes and so forth for something that'll be used by a significant
chunk of the Cygwin user base, than for something that's only going to
be used by me.
