This morning, I woke up to find a new PR in microsoft/git
(https://github.com/microsoft/git/issues/704) that cherry-picks the patch
that was offered in this here mail list thread. That patch is almost four
years old, i.e. just about ready to enter pre-school and to learn how to
read and write. Yet apart from Beat's confirmation that it fixes a real
bug, this here patch has been treated with silence.

Even Homebrew is waiting with bated breath for that patch to be picked up:

- https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/68865
