Probably. I think we should follow whatever existing and prevalent

updates to tweak the behaviour to match what of Windows version.
I don't really have opinion on what Git should do on windows, but in any
case, the current patches only changes the behavior if the XDG file
exists, so it may be suboptimal on windows, but shouldn't harm windows
users.
