From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@xxxxxx> We cannot rely on `uname -m` in Git for Windows' SDK to tell us what architecture we are compiling for, as we can compile both 32-bit and 64-bit `git.exe` from a 64-bit SDK, but the `uname -m` in that SDK will always report `x86_64`. So let's go back to our original design. And make it explicitly Windows-specific.
