Indeed, that is only in Git for Windows' code base yet, AFAICT.
For the record: I am currently holding off from contributing those patches (I am talking about the patch series to make Git compile with MS Visual C++ on the command line, followed by the patch series to generate project definitions ready for use with MS Visual Studio) because of the feature freeze. I had hoped to be able to contribute them sooner, but it took Jeff Hostetler and myself a combined gargantuan effort to reorder and disentangle Git for Windows' branch thicket so that those patches apply cleanly on top of git.git's `master`.
Happily, almost all of the prerequisites made it upstream (e.g. the nanosecond support for Windows, the patches to require Windows Vista or later, the patch to use CreateHardLink() directly, etc). By my counting, only two, relatively small patch series are left, and both are already under discussion (but on hold, due to the code freeze).
For interested parties: the current shape of the `visual-studio` patch series can be seen here: https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/compare/581eb5441089%5E...581eb5441089%5E2 and the current shape of the `msvc` patch series can be seen here: https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/compare/e9e7bd2a2485%5E...e9e7bd2a2485%5E2
Ciao, Dscho
