BTW, you have workaround for git-merge also? It uses cpio to save/restore state.

Why do people want "workaround"?  Is installing cpio such a
hassle?

It is on Windows because busybox cpio is not really good and busybox
tar is even worse (for cpio emulation). Maybe I should just improve
busybox cpio :-)
