It is a pretty neat thing that the bulky MSDN documentation has been replaced by something a lot more open, something that can be updated via Pull Requests on GitHub. Let's link to this new documentation instead of the obsolete one.

I know, it is really close to the code freeze leading up to Git v2.20.0. But this is just an update to a code comment... :-)

[PATCH 1/1] mingw: replace an obsolete link with the superseding one

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

The MSDN documentation has been superseded by Microsoft Docs (which is backed by a repository on GitHub containing many, many files in Markdown format).

Thank you! That's much better than the original obfuscated page name.
