You might be enthusiastic about this cunning idea.  However, if it costs 
me performance on Linux, and all the benefits go to Windows users, then I 
will remove this "solution" from my personal Git tree _right away_, and 
I'd expect a lot of other people, too.

I repeat this just once more: if you add complexity, you'll have to have a 
compelling reason to do so.  If there is no benefit for Linux users, why 
should they bear the cost?

But as Andreas remarked, I sincerely think that there has been enough talk 
about the issue.  It's time to see some patches, or to stop the 
discussion.

Ciao,
Dscho
