The patches had some issues. I suspect the population of people who want
to run a git server on IIS is relatively small. I am content to wait for
somebody who has such a setup to produce a working patch.

It doesn't matter because we don't actually support fetching HTTP
bundles via "git fetch" yet.

But I ran it across the issue and did make such a fix when I was
implementing that feature long ago. See the discussion of "surprise" in
[1] and [2].

Wow, that series is exactly 5 years old today. Have I really been
procrastinating on re-rolling it that long? Yikes.
