Not yet, but I hope to spend some time on that this week or early next. I now have some more time to work on this at work and I can try to poke around and figure out what might be wrong, or at least try to beg a colleague to try things on their Windows VM.

My apologies for the delay; things have been busy lately and I've had less personal time to work on Git.
