Umm. Dscho - that was before the thing was merged.

Now that the basic mingw support is part of standard git, the situation has changed.

That's the main issue here - if mingw support is in standard git (and it is), then mingw issues that touch any non-mingw code should be discussed where all the git developers are.

Can't you see the difference between the pre-merge and the post-merge situation?
