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:

Yuck. On Windows, it's the extension of a file that dictates what kind
of file it is (and if it's executable or not), not the contents. If we
get a shell script written with the ".exe"-prefix, it's considered as
an invalid executable by the system. We should consider it the same
way, otherwise we're on the path to user-experience schizophrenia.

I'm not sure I consider this commit a step in the right direction.

I, too, think that it is a wrong decision to pessimize git for the sake of a single test case.
