(Also, since Windows doesn't really handle symlinks, it's fine that 
stat just uses lstat)

It does now: See

Yeah, I know about Vista's improved support for symbolic links. However, 
I think we can let that lay for a while, until we decide to make Git 
generate proper symlinks on Vista. I don't see it as a 1st priority at 
the moment, and we can always add the needed functionality in a separate 
stat() function later.

... and force everybody to upgrade to Vista, thereby working for Microsoft 
for free?  You _know_ that I will oppose that change.
