Oh interesting - I've only peripherally looked at Git-for-Windows code, since Chromium uses its packages verbatim (thanks, BTW!). I think you're correct though - this patch set seems to be doing the same thing. I've been force-pushing my changes to the "runtime-prefix" branch of my Git fork for travis.ci testing. The latest commit on that branch adds a "config.mak" for testing, so one commit from the branch head will contain the sum set of this patch series applied at (or near) Git's master branch: https://github.com/danjacques/git/tree/runtime-prefix~1 Let me know if this is what you are looking for, and if I can offer any help with Windows testing. Thanks!
