Now I am utterly confused.  MSDN says
	FILETIME
	Contains a 64-bit value representing the number of 100-nanosecond
intervals since January 1, 1601 (UTC).
Hmm.

If you really, really want to know more:

Thanks, seems like it's the right decision then to ensure that we use UTC
throughout Git on Windows

Hannes & Dscho, looks like we should revert 
http://repo.or.cz/w/git/mingw/4msysgit.git?a=commitdiff;h=683775c00d9fb95bcbe4632f95b67a96b902fa59 
then, and rather apply Dscho's patch for a custom time() implementation. 
Dscho, was the custom implementation of time() enough to fix the issues 
for you?

Umm.  I am helplessly overloaded with non-Git work, and just made sure 
that it compiles ;-)  Besides, I did not really understand what I was 
doing; just copying your code to convert from FILETIME to time_t.

Sorry,
Dscho
