Unfortunately that is not a very good news.

As there is no chance Shawn's new series will be applied to 'maint' for
updating 1.6.5.X series, somebody needs to address the breakage without
introducing the whole new HTTP code.  Is the breakage you are seeing
limited only to msysgit environment, or does the same breakage appear on
other platforms?
