Essentially unchanged from what I said in $gmane/299446 a few days ago. Merge only the t0006 workaround with lazy-prereq changes to 'maint', so that we can skip tests that are unrunnable on platforms without 64-bit long to avoid unnecessary test failures, then tag that to v2.9.2 soon enough so that you do not have to do two releases in a row (i.e. skipping v2.9.1 saying "Git for Windows skipped that one because it was not quite right; this release fixes the issue" in your v2.9.2 announcement).

I couldn't do that while that t0006 fix was in flux. Now I hopefully can.
