I'm not. I'm just talking about Windows-related changes in git in 
general, that are expected to be merged into regular git one way or 
another.

If it's something that should be merged, and if it concerns code that I'm 
interested in, I want to know about it. It's that simple.

The fact that _all_ windows discussion used to be in a different area and 
not on the -git list is past. It was definitely the case that it didn't 
affect any normal git code, since it was all maintained in a separate tree 
and the normal git tree was simply not even _relevant_, and didn't even 
try to be.

But that's changed. I think the windows support merge was really quite 
well done, and was a rather clean series, and no, I don't think the unix 
people cared about it when there was so much fundamental stuff needed to 
be done - we didn't have any relevant input.

But I'd certainly _hope_ that future windows work is incremental, and at 
that point it's no longer a "drop the end result on people" situation.
