Right now I don't yet have a good idea for how to fix the issue. I've been trying a bunch of different things that, according to Windows docs, should've made the renames work. But they didn't, and I don't really have an alternative right now. So I'll need to keep on thinking about this, and maybe get some more help from people familiar with Windows. So deferring Git 2.47 because of it probably does not make much sense unless somebody can up with a solution. Also, as noted already, this is not a regression, the behaviour actually improved even on Windows. Not to the degree I was hoping for, but at least a bit. So that's another reason why I don't think it is worth deferring over this.
OK. I was thinking that we may need more time to cook the real fix on target (read: not Windows) platforms, but if that is not the case, then let's stick to the original schedule. Thanks.
