I think that the word "currently" is missing from this description, as it is not something this patch controls (but Travis CI's infrastructure).

This is *the* bonus of using Travis CI over BuildHive (which is enabled in Git for Windows' fork of git/git): you can install additional dependencies for more extensive testing. Oh, and it tests with clang and on MacOSX, too, which would reduce the number of fixer-upper patches when git/git introduced yet Another Change That Works Only On Linux.

Maybe for readability use

    case "${TRAVIS_OS_NAME:-linux}" in
    linux)
        ...
