Re: [PATCH 1/2] subtree: fix the GIT_EXEC_PATH sanity check to work on Windows

`test FILE1 -ef FILE2` checks wether the inode is the same.  And it's
POSIX, so I'm assuming that it's sufficiently portable, though I
haven't actually tested whether things other than Bash implement it.

It's not POSIX. From
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/test.html:

	Some additional primaries newly invented or from the KornShell
	appeared in an early proposal as part of the conditional command
	([[]]): s1 > s2, s1 < s2, str = pattern, str != pattern,
	f1 -nt f2, f1 -ot f2, and f1 -ef f2.

Having said that, it appears that Bash implements it (what non-standard
behavior _doesn't_ it implement ;-))

And since Git for Windows ships with Bash, we can actually use it!

So,... is contrib/subtree for Windows only?
