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.

I guessed as much, but could not fetch the patch, since fetch was
broken ;-)

Heh, yeah, that's happened to me too before. One neat thing with this
gitweb thingy though, is that you can actually grab the patch, like this
http://repo.or.cz/w/git/mingw/4msysgit.git?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f15974add93bdfa92775c77c00e7c65aefd42127

No excuse! ;-)
