Actually, no... This switch case is about the previous version, that is, the script is called with v2.47.3 and previous_version will then be set to 2.47.2...

Yes, the switch seems to be correct, but the comment claims that 2.47.3 didn't exist, whereas the code special cases 2.47.2 not existing.

Aaah! You are right. Fixed.
These two versions do not have _strict_ predecessors in Git for Windows, as Git for Windows v2.46.3 and v2.47.2 were never released. Let's special-case these two versions so that we can prepare embargoed branches for them, too. We simply use the closest preceding Git for Windows versions that _were_ released.

I had to release some security bug fix releases recently that did not quite follow a previous version. For example, there was a gap between Git for Windows v2.47.1(2) and MinGit v2.47.3 (there was no Git for Windows nor MinGit v2.47.2).
To accommodate for this, I came up with these patches (and used them in the private repository where the embargoed releases were built).
