I'll send a patch series in reply to this mail that contains the following patches:

  [PATCH 01/12] Fake reencoding success under NO_ICONV instead of  
returning NULL.
  [PATCH 02/12] Do not complain about "no common commits" in an empty  
repo
  [PATCH 03/12] MinGW: Convert CR/LF to LF in tag signatures
  [PATCH 04/12] Avoid calling signal(SIGPIPE, ..) for MinGW builds.
  [PATCH 05/12] Windows(msysgit): Per default, display help as HTML in  
default browser
  [PATCH 06/12] connect: Fix custom ports with plink (Putty's ssh)
  [PATCH 07/12] Fixed text file auto-detection: treat EOF character  
032 at the end of file as printable
  [PATCH 08/12] fast-import: MinGW does not have getppid().  So do not  
print it.
  [PATCH 09/12] We need to check for msys as well as Windows in add-- 
interactive.
  [PATCH 10/12] Add ANSI control code emulation for the Windows console
  [PATCH 11/12] verify_path(): do not allow absolute paths
  [PATCH 12/12] [TODO] setup: bring changes from 4msysgit/next to next

This series would bring *.{c,h,sh,perl} on Junio's next to 4msysgit/ next, except for some minor differences (whitespace, comments, a workaround in git-parse-remote.sh).
