FWIW Git for Windows has this patch (that I wanted to contribute
in  due time, what with being busy with all those tickets) to solve the
problem mentioned in your patch in a different way:

Yuck. On Windows, it's the extension of a file that dictates what kind
of file it is (and if it's executable or not), not the contents. If we
get a shell script written with the ".exe"-prefix, it's considered as
an invalid executable by the system. We should consider it the same
way, otherwise we're on the path to user-experience schizophrenia.

I'm not sure I consider this commit a step in the right direction.

I, too, think that it is a wrong decision to pessimize git for the
sake of a single test case.

Oh, you make it sound as if you believe that I had indeed weakened
Git  *just* for a single test case.

Whatever. Since I do not have the time to provide hard numbers that prove my claim that your patch removes an optimization (and, furthermore, I do not want to reply to your arguments that I consider mostly philosophical rather than pragmatic), I bow out. Until this solution or that one is in upstream, I can help myself.

Junio, please drop my patch. I do not have the nerves to support it.
