The problem is that MinGW behaves sanely, i.e. it does not output CRLF 
but only LF.

Well, that is broken, since the convention on Windows is to use CRLF.

I cannot help but wonder what exactly you wanted to achieve with this 
provably bogus statement, other than provoking flames.  I hereby refuse to 
insult you for it.

- Windows is already slow.  So slow that it is not even funny.  
  Granted, if you use Windows daily, git on MinGW seems snappy, but if 
  you come from Linux, it is slow as hell.

True. And I run git a lot on a Novell disk share, which doesn't exactly 
help improve the speed either :-)

Don't do that, then.

I mean, git is _distributed_.  Not like there is no way out because your 
"server" is on a disk share.

Windows has CRLF line endings. Just deal with it.

No, I will not just deal with it.
