I am not aware of any. But then, I think nobody mentioned it on the msysgit list (which would be the correct place), and I am likely to have missed it if it was sent elsewhere.

Actually, not only Hannes' version runs the test t7003 okay, but also 4msysgit's version.

But let's reduce the differences between git.git and 4msysgit.git further first.

I'll wait with the next Git for Windows release until the next official Git version is released, anyway. Or if Steffen wants to take msysGit over again when he comes back, he will wait until the next official Git versions is released, anyway.
