Hello
I trying to work on the prerequisite tasks for GSoC this year. The codebase is 
huge and I found the following line introduced in c21d6325ab0 on line 50.

if test "$BASH_VERSION" = '2.04.0(1)-release'; then
echo "This bash version ($BASH_VERSION) is broken on your platform."
echo "Upgrade to a later version if available."
fi

I'm not sure what is special about the bash version 2.04.0(1)-release. I guess 
the script is trying to check if BASH_VERSION is preset although the try_exec 
for bash failed. Should the version, in any case, be hard coded like this ?

This is the thread that caused that commit:

Sounds like someone had an issue with MinGW, and someone just committed that to block it since it's broken (going through the release notes on that version, looks like there were multiple things that it had problems with).
