Hopefully it's not too late in the cycle for a review of this contrib/compat
item.

Has this been discussed in the Windows land and folks are all happy
with this change?  If so the only thing we would need review on the
main list is the top-level change outside compat/ and contrib/, so
it may be possible to sneak it in before -rc1.

Yes this had been discussed previously on the MsysGit list, and in the referenced Pull Request [msysgit/#318] https://github.com/msysgit/git/pull/318/files.

I had aspirations of a slightly bigger series that would also allow the VS compiled output to be installed but that had stalled, so I cut back to fixing the basic 'make it work' steps.

The series has been reordered/rebased, and the recently noticed 05/17 err msg fix added.

The one unknown is the last patch [17] for the Windows Safe Exception Handling in that the default acceptability was flipped in VS2013 so that zlib became unacceptable to ceratain OS versions without the addition of that option -SAFESEH:NO, but I haven't been able to test that myself (I don't have a complaining system).


Otherwise, no, but we can still polish it during the prerelease
freeze and aim to merge it in the first batch after the upcoming
release.

Why?

Mistake on/by Windows? - My mistake, I hadn't noticed it had happened.

I can search out the change step and re-roll.
