The MinGW project (which can now be considered "old", as mingw-w64 is the standard thing to use nowadays, since it also supports 64-bit builds) had some problems with our sideband feature, and in Git for Windows <2.x, we introduced a config setting to still allow using the git:// protocol by forcing off the sideband channel. Let's contribute this patch to upstream Git, at long last.
