Yeah, this has been there for a while - except it depends on which version of the header files you have. (Some may not see the warning).

I have 'fixed' this twice before, then updated my installation and a change to the system headers broke it again! (The headers are currently 'broken'). So, I got tired of fixing it up and have left it a while - you never know a new update may fix it! ;-)

[I personally don't use the git daemon on cygwin, so I don't know if this a problem in practice.]
