 The minimum version of Windows supported by Windows port fo Git is
 now set to Vista.

 Will merge to 'next'.

Could I ask you to fast-track this to `master`? The code in `master`
unfortunately no longer compiles in a current Git for Windows SDK, meaning
that all of our Continuous Testing fails as long as these patches are not
merged.

Absolutely.  There is no point keeping it in 'pu', as nobody would
touch it in my tree until it hits 'next' and probably 'master' and
the change would get wider exposure to folks to whom it matters in
your tree anyway.

Thanks for pinging.
