+ It seems that despite many intelligent people realizing that the recent
+ change to special case http, https and ftp was a terrible decision, it
+ seems that there is enough resistance left on the Git mailing list to
+ keep the brain-dead current state.

+ The Git mailing list is definitely giving me more grief than joy these

Oh well, the joys of being excited by several competing projects! ☺

- Phew. That was quite a day, almost exclusively spent on finishing that - installer. The worst part: updating GCC seemed not to be such a good idea - after all... -
- For Windows, we need to use the printf format %I64u (which is - non-standard, in the common way of Microsoft) if you want to print 64-bit - wide unsigned numbers. The rest of the world accepts the standard %llu. -
- After upgrading to the new GCC, a lot of warnings appeared, complaining - about %I64u. The warnings went away when I replaced the format with - %llu. -
- Being the naive I am, I mistook that for a sign that we could finally go - more standards-compliant. -
- However, it only means that we have to live with the warnings for now, as - the C runtime provided on Windows still strongly disagrees with standards - (and it has to continue to do so, lest it break existing programs). -
- Sigh. -
- At least I have the feeling that I caught the most important bugs before - releasing. -
