I don't have the intention to say 'figure it out', but you already told me that 
you did
not agree with my proposal. So why then asking to make a git patch?

I don't have the full knowledge and (even more important) the time to make 
Cygwin 
alike inode implementation. So I'm willing to make a git patch for the code I 
provided, 
but not able to make something that let get windows more close to POSIX 
behavior.
It is almost a design decision to choose to what level Windows should behave 
like
POSIX systems. It is IMO impossible to tell such changes in a git change. So I 
really like
to know what is wanted here?
