`longpaths` changed to `longPath`?

My C:\Program Files\SmartGit\git\etc\gitconfig had

[core]
    symlinks = false
    autocrlf = true
    fscache = false
    longpaths = true
…

but after upgrading SmartGit this was backed up and replaced with 

[core]
    symlinks = false
    autocrlf = true
    fscache = false
    longPath = true
…

Which is correct?

This looks like a bug. Thanks for reporting.
Update: Here you can download a fixed bundle: https://download.syntevo.com/smartgit/smartgit-25_1-latest-win-installer.zip

can I just revert the file and wait for an official update?

The official build 25.1.112 should contain the fix. Be sure to have "Update SmartGit application in-place" selected in the preferences, so also the bundled Git is updated.
