Re: [PATCH] MinGW: fix diff --no-index /dev/null ...

Unlike other places where a string is compared to /dev/null, in this case 
do not parse a diff, but rather command line parameters that have

opened.

If you like it, may I ask you to amend the message?

Should this go to 'maint'?

Technically, yes, as it is a fix.

However, it might not be necessary, as literally all Windows work on Git 
happens in git/mingw.git, git/mingw/j6t.git and git/mingw/4msysgit.git.

Yeah, I should have been clearer.  Unless msysgit will have a maintenance
track for 1.6.1.X, there is no point.

Thanks for reading my mind and a clarified message I can use for amending.
