Re: [PATCH 2/2] Cached the git configuration, which is now noticibly faster on windows.

If this is truly a noticeable bottleneck on Windows, something like
the following might be even better:  (completely untested!)

_gitConfig = None
def gitConfig(key):
  if _gitConfig is None:
    lines = read_pipe("git config -l", ignore_error=True).readlines():
    _gitConfig = dict([l.strip().split('=', 1) for l in lines])
  return _gitConfig.get(key, None)
