Ah, yes. It can probably wait. I needed this for the Eclipse Git plugin to work
nicely wth shared cloned repos under cygwin. With full clones there is no such
problem. Before the patch I created two references, one for cygwin and one
for EGIT, but cygwin was very noisy with that workaround and git-gui/gitk didn't
work reliably when they did work at all.
