This may help us debug issues on Windows, as we now can build Git natively on Windows with both MinGW and MSVC.

 I'm just throwing this one out there. If people think manipulating
 the version here, to ease debugging, I don't mind if this patch is
 squashed into patch 12.
 If people don't like it, just skip this path.
