We have to disable the test case on Windows. Oh how would I wish you were working on Git for Windows even *just* a bit *with* me. At least I would wish for a more specific description of the development environment, because it sure as hell is not anything anybody can download and install as easily as Git for Windows' SDK. FWIW Git for Windows has this patch (that I wanted to contribute in due time, what with being busy with all those tickets) to solve the problem mentioned in your patch in a different way: https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/commit/2fff4b54a0d4e5c5e2e4638c9b0739d3c1ff1e45 Please read this as my vote not to remove the test cases.
