Hmm.

If you really, really want to know more:

Thanks, seems like it's the right decision then to ensure that we use

Hannes & Dscho, looks like we should revert
http://repo.or.cz/w/git/mingw/4msysgit.git?a=commitdiff;h=683775c00d9fb95bcbe4632f95b67a96b902fa59
then, and rather apply Dscho's patch for a custom time() 
implementation. Dscho, was the custom implementation of time() enough
