Oh, don't you worry, there are plenty more patches in Git for Windows' fork. Some of them will become irrelevant, others probably already did so. The majority, though, I think will be of interest and I will submit them over the next weeks/months (it will take a while not only because I do not want to overload the list, but also because I have to do quite a bit of spring cleaning).
