Neat, with the custom stat() changes cherry-picked on top of
4msysgit.git 'devel' branch, I only have one failing testcase 
t6024-recursive-merge.sh when running $ NO_SYMLINKS=1 make -k

The rest are passing with flying colors!

Bad news.  I do not know if it was the newest version I tried, but I
could no longer fetch... said something about some bad file.

Then you're missing this patch:
http://repo.or.cz/w/git/mingw/4msysgit.git?a=commitdiff;h=f15974add93bdfa92775c77c00e7c65aefd42127

I guess the quickest way is to manually apply this patch and recompile.
(or add the '#undef fstat', and have git_fstat just 'return fstat(fd, buf)')

The problem is that without this patch fstat(0, buf) would fail with bad
filedescriptor instead of returning the st_mode = S_IFIFO.
