If things are good, it would be cool if someone am'ed it into the

It would have been nicer to follow the hints in
Documentation/SubmittingPatches, in particular inlining the patch,
so that people can comment on it easily, and providing a sensible
commit message so that applying it to "the public repository" (we
have at least 3 of them, as far as msysGit is concerned) easy.
I've setup a "tracking" repo, which is updated every hour with
branches from git.git, mingw.git, 4msysgit.git, j6t.git, and pclouds.git.
Quite useful when writing patches for git on Windows, and you want to
test them against different branches. (Of course you can easily do all
this manually, but it's all about convenience. And avoiding br0ken
repos for my part, since we've had that a couple of times ;-)
