I do not think that the problem occurs if you run the same commands on Linux, on a mounted Samba share. So I guess that upstream Git can enjoy their luxury of not having to care. In any case, if we would need this also for Linux, doing it for only one user of rename() would probably not be good enough, either... so something similar to mingw_rename() would be needed (interfering with mingw_rename itself, of course).
