Speaking for myself, my biggest problem with your patch series is to find the time to work on packaging PCRE v2 as an MSYS2 package. If you force me to make that time *now*, by forcing the switch to v2 in `pu`, you will disimprove my mood. That's all. If, however, you are gently with people like me, offering this as an opt-in, so that I can play with it when I find some time to build PCRE v2 in MSYS2's context, I will be pretty happy, and of course will ship Git for Windows with the faster PCRE support as soon as I am satisfied that it works correctly. That should make you happy, too, as you will get quite a bit of testers that way. Gently. Ciao, Dscho
