However, given the very unhappy turn in that Git for Windows ticket (somebody asks for a feature, then just sits back, and does not even confirm that the analysis covers their use case, let alone participates in this discussion), I am personally not really interested in driving this one any further. Tanushree proved that they know how to contribute to the Git mailing list, as a pre-requisite for the Outreachy project, and that is the positive outcome of this thread as far as I am concerned. I am pretty happy about that, too. Ciao, Dscho
