No. I meant the msysGit project; the project that maintains the current development environment for Git for Windows. Please do not try to reinterpret what I am saying.

Maybe because you could not even test it properly, let alone run the test suite? And maybe because according to the famous "scratch your own itch" credo, it is actually the duty of Windows users -- i.e. users who do not even have your Linux system -- to fix the bugs that would never be encountered anywhere but Windows?

Hth, Johannes
