I say that I don't understand it. Nikolay, could you pls give an example
and explain in detail what happens? Note, that I don't own an MS Windows
machine. And if I hijack one, temporarily, it does not run git. So I
have no chance to test anything for the blamed scenario. What I could do
is code reading across the example.

But this looks different to the Emacs 25.2 issue. Nikolay did propose a
patch in bug#23076, and I did propose another version of that patch
(Message-ID: <address@hidden>), which was later modified to the
patch applied in master. So we have to decided, which of the two offered
patches shall go into the emacs-25 branch, and whether it works. Again,
I cannot test myself. That's why I gave it to Nikolay, several times already.

Best regards, Michael.
