Done: https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/pull/1421

I added credit to Jeff in the PR's description.

Sadly, the PR's description won't make it into the commit history, and the
authorship really should have been retained.

I found Peff's topic branch in his fork and force-pushed, to demonstrate
what I wanted to have. Currently the test suite is running (I test 64-bit
builds of the three major platforms Windows, macOS and Linux), and once
that is done and passed, I will merge the Pull Request.

Note that I tried compiling master, but failed due to a reason
unrelated to this patch:

builtin/checkout.c:24:10: fatal error: fscache.h: No such file or directory

That was an oversight in a previously-merged Pull Request. I have fixed
that locally and will soon push it out onto `master`.

Ciao,
Johannes

FWIW, I do not mind including this as part of -rc2 if not -rc1 for
the upcoming release.
