Git for Windows is in the middle of migrating from MINGW64 to UCRT64 (see git-for-windows/git-sdk-64#117 for full details).

For the time being, git-artifacts does build the UCRT64 variants of installers, portable Gits, etc, using the -ucrt64 file name infix to indicate this flavor. These are not published with the official releases, even though they are part of the snapshots.

To allow for efficient testing and developing of the UCR64 side of Git for Windows, let's also deploy the corresponding Pacman packages (which will eventually back the regular -64-bit artifacts, once the migration to UCRT64 is complete.

For the time being, `git-artifacts` _does_ build the UCRT64 variants of
installers, portable Gits, etc, using the `-ucrt64` file name infix to
indicate this flavor. These are _not_ published with the official
releases, even though they are part of the snapshots.

to UCRT64 is complete.

I added two TO-DROP commits on top and pushed the result to trigger this workflow run which resulted in this pacman-repo Release and this pacman-repo commit (i.e. a correct deployment of the UCRT64 flavor of mingw-w64-git to Git for Windows' Pacman repository).
