It is curious that we can speak with such a certainty of the lack of
users of such a popular project.  References?

The above clearly explains what is written in the patch text, but
the proposed log message does not explain what ../THIS_IS_MSYSGIT
used to guard and why now we can remove it.

Thanks.  It always is good to see more lines go away ;-) but these
two patches need to be explained a bit better and supported by folks
who have been active on Windows port of the project.
