Oh, for the love of God!  It is not like we will not fix this problem 
eventually!  Screwing a lot of users by rewriting history, just because of 
Windows, which we need too many ugly work-arounds in Git's source code for 
anyway, is _not_ an option.

Or would you suggest to scrap almost the complete history of Git just 
because most of it does not compile on platform XYZ, while the initial 
revision did?  Exactly.

Ciao,
