Re: [PATCH] Brown paper bag fix for MinGW 64-bit stat

Johannes Schindelin [off-list ref] writes:

When overriding the identifier "stat" so that "struct stat" will be
substituted with "struct _stati64" everywhere, I tried to fix the calls
to the _function_ stat(), too, but I forgot to change the earlier
attempt "stat64" to "_stati64" there.

So, the stat() calls were overridden by calls to _stati64() instead.

Unfortunately, there is a function _stati64() so that I missed that
calls to stat() were not actually overridden by calls to mingw_lstat(),
but t4200-rerere.sh showed the error.

Since this is a fix-up to a new on 'master', I've applied the patch
myself, but how would we want to handle MinGW related patches in general?

My preference is to have somebody I can rely on receiving Acked forwards
from (or pulling from).
