Re: [BULLS**T PATCH] Allow Git to work at Insane Bank Corp

Because Insane Bank Corp is one of the largest banks in the world
all 3rd party software vendors must comply and correct their
applications to not fail when they encounter Desktop.ini in an
application's internal data directory.  Or they will lose their
contract with Insane Bank Corp.

This patch must be applied to Git, since Git is a 3rd party software
product and its global assets are much smaller than those of Insane
Bank Corp.  If not applied Git won't be permitted for use.  Git could
lose all of its software licenses and support contracts.  Git shall
do as Insane Bank Corp requests.

.gitignore?	... ducks ... then comes back.

Something like this could be used as an emulation layer for
case-corrupting filesystems ;-)
