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.
