Well, I will miss such in-the-middle-of-unrelated-discussions remarks. Even if some people think I ridicule them when I say that I do not have much time, it is a fact. If I did not like Git as much as I do, I would have stopped long time ago for sanity reasons.

FWIW I ran the test while replying to your mail yesterday, and created the 'filter-branch' branch in msysgit.git. I'll probably just merge it into our 'master' later today.
