As Dscho explained in a sub-thread, I really do not want to bypass
msysgit folks when dealing with things that relate to Windows, for
at least two reasons:

 * I can be a patch monkey and apply them to my tree but then I
   would be pushing out changes that I didn't try out myself
   otherwise.  Granted, that is true for platforms other than
   Windows that I do not regularly build and test on, but when I
   know there are capable folks who have been working on Windows
   issues for a long time, not asking for their help does not make
   much sense.

 * They still have other changes that are yet to be fed to my tree,
   and I do not actively track and compare their tree.  A patch
   series prepared against my tree may collide with their ongoing
   effort to make Git on Windows platform better and risk making
   more work for them, not less.

The earlier part of your series (including the ones that were Acked
by EFL) looked sensible to me: 1-6, 9, 11, 12 (outside compat/ part
only).

I could take them directly to my tree, but that is still on "as long
as msysgit folks are OK with them" basis.

Thanks.
