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).
