Git for Windows version
git version 2.55.0.windows.3 # FAILS
git version 2.53.0.windows.4 # WORKS (GitHub Desktop embedded git, same machine, same ~/.gitconfig)
Windows version
Windows 11 (build 26200), x86_64
Details
Setup: http.sslBackend=schannel (system default), global config contains:
[http "https://github.com/"]
schannelcheckrevoke = false
proxy = http://127.0.0.1:26561 # local HTTP proxy (CONNECT tunnel), removed later, see below
Symptom (2.55.0.windows.3, clone/fetch through the HTTP proxy):
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/USER/REPO.git/':
schannel: next InitializeSecurityContext failed: CRYPT_E_NO_REVOCATION_CHECK (0x80092012)
A/B tests, same machine / same proxy / same ~/.gitconfig:
| git build |
proxy + schannelCheckRevoke=false |
result |
| 2.55.0.windows.3 (system) |
yes (global URL-scoped) |
❌ CRYPT_E_NO_REVOCATION_CHECK |
| 2.55.0.windows.3 |
yes (-c http.schannelCheckRevoke=false inline) |
❌ same error |
| 2.53.0.windows.4 (Desktop embedded) |
yes (reads the same ~/.gitconfig) |
✅ clone succeeds |
| 2.55.0.windows.3 |
direct connection, no proxy |
✅ clone succeeds |
Additional data points:
curl --ssl-no-revoke against the same proxy works, so the proxy path itself is functional and the failure is the revocation check that schannelCheckRevoke=false should suppress.
- The
openssl backend through the same proxy fails with unable to get local issuer certificate (proxy path does not send intermediate certs; unrelated to this report but listed for completeness).
- I also tried
CURL_SSL_NO_REVOKE=1 — ignored by git's libcurl, as expected per docs.
Expected: http.schannelCheckRevoke=false should disable the schannel revocation check regardless of proxy usage, per documentation ("Used to enforce or disable certificate revocation checks in cURL when http.sslBackend is set to schannel").
Actual: In 2.55.0.windows.3 the option appears to be ignored on the proxy path (the revocation check runs and fails). The identical configuration works on 2.53.0.windows.4, which suggests a regression introduced between these builds.
Workaround currently in use
Direct connection (no proxy) works on 2.55.0.windows.3, so I pinned the workaround to network topology rather than the config value. Downgrading the standalone installation to 2.53.0.windows.4 also resolves it.

(closest: CERT_TRUST_REVOCATION_STATUS_UNKNOWN with Git 2.41.0.windows.1 #4467 — same error class, but that report did not test
schannelCheckRevoke=false; this report is specifically that the config value itself stopped working)Git for Windows version
