Junio, unless there already are pressing reasons to put the patch in
GIT, could you postpone its inclusion (if you ever considered)? Or at
least put "#ifdef __cygwin" (I hope this is the define) around it?

It just so ugly... And besides, GIT reportedly works without problems
for many people even without it.

Anyway, the patch is out, so anyone with the problems can just patch
their copy to workaround this specific win2k problem.

Thanks,
Alex
