As I mentioned recently, while discussing a cygwin specific patch
(see "Version 1.8.1 does not compile on Cygwin 1.7.14" thread), the
MSVC build is broken for me.

The first 4 patches fix the MSVC build for me. The final patch is
not really related to fixing the build, but it removed some make
warnings which were quite irritating ...

Thanks!

Note that I used the Makefile, with the Visual C++ 2008 command line
compiler on Windows XP (SP3), to build a vanilla git on MinGW.  I'm not
subscribed to the msysgit mailing list, nor do I follow the msysgit fork
of git, so these patches may conflict with commits in their repository.

Maybe you can Cc: the patch series to msysgit@googlegroups.com
nevertheless?

OK.  The only thing I can say about these patches is that none of
them would affect my boxes would exercise, so I'll wait until I get
a final-for-application re-send from mysgit folks, preferrably with
their Acked-by: lines.

Thanks.
